The time is right for lucerne – April plant the king of fodder!

Resow a portion of your farm with perennial pastures such as lucerne this April.  With its drought tolerance, water use efficiency, high yields and nutritional quality for hay, silage and grazing – it has earned its title as the King of Fodder.

When choosing a variety for grazing, Stamina® GT 5 and Stamina® GT 6 are the ultimate choices for a grazing tolerant lucerne. Stamina® GT varieties will persist under set stocked grazing for prolonged periods and have been trialled over many years under the internationally recognised Standard Test Protocol for grazing tolerant lucerne.

With some wetter days upon us, the time is right for lucerne. While quick to respond to rain, lucerne persists under dry conditions enriching your soil with nitrogen for future crops (as a legume, lucerne fixes atmospheric nitrogen).

So what are Aussie farmers saying about PGG Wrightson Seeds Stamina GT® lucernes?

 “We are particularly happy with how GT6 established in very tough conditions, the strike was terrific. Persistence under heavy grazing is great, that’s why Stamina GT6 is our preferred variety when looking for a long term lucerne stand.”  David Ferguson, New South Wales.

“We are lucky if we give the stand two weeks rest between grazing. It’s still really thick and dense. We wouldn’t have lost more than 2% coverage even after years of grazing.” Steve Affleck, New South Wales comments on Stamina® GT 5.
