Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), also known as "broadleaf birdsfoot trefoil," is a long-lived, deep-rooted perennial forage legume used for pasture, hay, and silage. It grows on many different soil types, from sandy loams to clays, and accepts poorly-drained, droughty, infertile, acid, or mildly alkaline soils. The nutritive value of Birdsfoot Trefoil equals that of alfalfa, and there is no apparent problem from bloat, even where pure stands are grazed.

Birdsfoot Trefoil should be seeded with grasses for optimum forage production, such as timothy, smooth brome, orchardgrass, tall fescue, and perennial ryegrass. It also attracts deer, turkey, and rabbit. Birdsfoot Trefoil is a non-bloating legume suitable for use in permanent pastures or as a hay crop, either alone or sown in combination with grasses. When used for grazing, it is best used in a rotational grazing system.

Weak seedling vigor is the major problem encountered when establishing stands of Birdsfoot Trefoil. Good seeding practices and weed control are essential. Seeding rates for various mixtures are indicated in the table. Seed should be covered slightly or planted 1/4 inch deep. Planting seed above a band of fertilizer (band seeding) but not in contact with the fertilizer will enhance seedling vigor. Planting can take place in the early spring or late summer, with early spring planting being preferable.

Early spring or continuous grazing of Birdsfoot Trefoil will weaken and eliminate a stand. Rotational grazing should be used, allowing animals to graze when the first flowers appear. For use as pasture, this will allow two grazing periods on dryland pastures west of the Cascade Mountains or three grazing periods on irrigated land.

Birdsfoot Trefoil is persistent and has a long life when managed properly. One of the major advantages of Birdsfoot Trefoil is its tolerance to low fertility and low soil pH. Maximum forage growth will occur on fertile soils with a pH of 6.0 to 6.2. A moderate application of phosphorus and sulfur at planting, based on soil test data, will provide for good growth.
