Description
Dutch white clover (Trifolium repens) is a subspecies of white clover that originated in Europe. It is believed to have been first cultivated in the Netherlands, where it earned its name. Dutch white clover was introduced to North America in the early 1600s and quickly became a popular pasture crop due to its ability to fix nitrogen and improve soil health. Today, Dutch white clover is grown in many parts of the world and is used for a variety of purposes, including as a cover crop, as a companion plant for other crops, and as a forage crop for livestock. It is known for its ability to attract beneficial insects, including bees, and is often used in sustainable agriculture practices to promote biodiversity and natural pest control.
