Management
Alsike will grow on wetter areas than the likes of red clover but will cause similar issues with bloat so care has to be taken to manage its inclusion rate in a grazing mixture. Normally used as a component of multi-species leys as tends to grow slower than red clovers and does not provide the same yield.
