Rocket Fuel® is a combination of chicory, white and red clovers. A high proportion of clover assists with the supply of nitrogen into the soil, promoting the growth of chicory to provide a dense cover to discourage weeds, including volunteer grass. Suitable for dairy, beef, deer, and sheep systems as a specialist crop for finishing dry stock or as a high protein feed for lactating dairy cows.
