Azur is a diploid cultivar of red clover [Trifolium pratense (L.)], which was selected for vigor and growth habit in the year of seeding. In forage trials conducted in Québec, Azur was superior in dry matter yield to check cultivars, particularly in trials harvested in the second production year. In trials in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, Azur was numerically superior in dry matter yield to the check cultivar, but not significantly so (P < 0.05).
