|---|
Sustain LS is a new Australia bred dolichos Lab Lab variety that was selected for a more prostrate growth habit and increased yield over common varieties.
The prostrate and dense growth habit of Sustain LS makes it an excellent companion to forage sorghums or grasses that provide structure for it to grow up.
Late maturity of Sustain LS extends the feed window towards the Autumn feed gap and maximising forage yield while also maintaining high forage quality.
The breeding work reduced leaf and stem hairs and reduced seed size which enhances stock acceptance and maximises seeds per kilogram to the grower and reducing sowing costs.
Sustain LS can be used for grazing, silage, hay production, in combination with forage sorghum or millet or as a high yielding green manure/cover crop to assist with rotations and building soil health.
