SARDI 7 Series 2 is the next generation in winter active lucerne. Versatility, broad adaptation and persistence make SARDI 7 Series 2 the market leading winter active lucerne variety.
It has been bred specifically for adaption to the Australian climate and will perform well in both dryland and irrigated systems. SARDI 7 Series 2 is ranked higher for persistence than most other commercial cultivars in Australian trials.
It is suited to direct grazing or hay and silage production and can be sown in pasture mixes or under-sown in cropping systems. It will persist and produce more dry matter than winter or semi-winter dormant varieties delivering more feed during the winter months when feed is in demand.
Through work conducted by Meat and Livestock (MLA), SARDI 7 Series 2 has shown improved tolerance to acid soils (pH >5.0 Ca). Superior AgriCote technology now includes 2 strains of rhizobia which further enhances its performance in acidic soils.
