Why Buy this product?
Nitrogen fixing legume feeding itself and successive crops.
Extremely deep rooting!
Lucerne has a good high protein feed (18-20% crude protein)
Fresh yields of 45 tons per ha can be expected with dry matter of 28-30%.
Seed is sown at 8 kg per care in April or July/August at 10- 20mm seed depth depending upon moisture levels.
A firm fine consolidated seed bed is recommended & a pH of 6.0 is essential to a good crop establishment. 
Lucerne is best suited to a cutting regime as silage or hay.
High DM (30-35%) round bale silage is the very best way of preserving the forage, resulting in minimal leaf loss and reducing secondary fermentation.
The first cut is normally available around the 15th and then continues at 6 week intervals through summer.
High dry matter intakes of Lucerne are possible due to the highly palatable thin cell wall of Lucerne when compared to grass.
Preferred varieties are Ezzelina, Daisy, Pardus and Marshall
