PER KG TRIFECTA LUCERNE + GOLDSTRIKE (25) S&W at a glance

Trifecta its low lying habit enables good persistence.

Suitable for grazing and cutting.

Extended growing season into spring and summer.

Moderate resistance to pests and diseases.

Excellent for stock grazing in mixed pasture and use as a high quality bailed hay.

Does best in deep well drained soil as plants themselves are deep rooted and as such plants are excellent for producing organic matter into the soil.

As a legume it is used to add nitrogen to the soil in its root nodules.

Deep roots can access sub-soil moisture and respond quickly after rain.

Young plants can be damaged by grazing so it is best to wait until plants commence flowering and use light grazing rotation to ensure plants are not eaten below 50mm.

Soil pH is best around neutral but will produce well above 5pH through to 8pH.

Rainfall needed is 375mm to 500mm

Sow Trifecta Lucerne + Goldstrike at 5–8 kg/ha drilled to 5–10 mm depth during August–October (spring) or February–March (late summer/early autumn) once soil temperature exceeds ~10°C, into a firm, well-drained, weed-free seedbed (minimum pH ~5.4 CaCl2). This seed is Goldstrike-treated; Goldstrike assists establishment and for lucerne typically includes species-matched rhizobia — confirm whether this treated seed is pre-inoculated. If it is not, or for bare/untreated lucerne, inoculate with the lucerne-specific Group AL inoculant (strain RRI128; acid-soil strain SRDI736 where soils are acidic) — do not substitute a clover or other-legume inoculant. Do NOT sow with vigorous ryegrasses; pair with low-vigour companions if desired. Wait until about 10% bloom before first grazing; use rotational grazing with 28–35 day recovery and never graze below ~10 cm. Manage bloat on lush lucerne (avoid wet/frosted/wilted pasture; pre-fill on dry feed). The deep taproot gives strong drought tolerance once established. Guide only — confirm the inoculant and rates with your supplier and a local agronomist. TGRM (07) 5482 1692.

Common Questions

What is Trifecta Lucerne good for?

Trifecta Lucerne is suitable for grazing and cutting. It's excellent for stock grazing in mixed pasture and produces high quality bailed hay. As a legume, it also adds nitrogen to the soil through its root nodules.

The deep roots access sub-soil moisture and respond quickly after rain, plus they're excellent for building organic matter in the soil.

How should I graze young Trifecta Lucerne plants?

Young plants can be damaged by grazing, so wait until plants commence flowering before you start. Use light grazing rotation and make sure plants aren't eaten below 50mm to protect them.

How much rainfall does Trifecta Lucerne need?

Trifecta Lucerne performs best with rainfall between 375mm to 500mm. The deep root system helps plants access sub-soil moisture during dry periods.
