Use in horticulture and agriculture
Trifolium Hybridum has been found to quickly lower the pH of soil, increasing its viable area of reproduction, whilst reducing the bio-density of weeds by up to 57%. Under the right conditions it may become invasive unless properly managed. With regard to inbreeding, it was found that there was a disadvantageous change to height, persistence, and vigor unless selectively bred for said traits.

Toxicity
There is limited evidence of Trifolium Hybridum having toxic effects on horses including photosensitization and Alsike clover poisoning. Photosensitivity in horses, also known as alsike rash, is a reversible condition in which the mechanism is unknown. A diet in equestrians of at least 20% Trifolium Hybridum over the course of four weeks could lead to poisoning which includes deleterious neurological effects and liver failure. The active toxin is unknown.
