This late maturity makes Laser well suited to areas with a long growing season.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-10\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eLaser produces large numbers of thin walled, hollowed stems, which contribute to the erect and bushy appearance. It is also well adapted to various soil types, tolerant to waterlogging and mild soil salinity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-11\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eLaser is very palatable, highly digestible (16–24% crude protein) and is well suited to multiple hay cuts, grazing or silage production. It can be successfully used in pasture mixes with ryegrass or oats to increase winter production; or as an effective disease break in cropping rotation and has the ability to fix high levels of soil nitrogen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-12\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eKey Features\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-13\"\u003eLate season Persian - approx 165 days to flowering\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-14\"\u003eWell suited to irrigation and  summer rainfall\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-15\"\u003eSuitable for multiple grazings  and\/or hay\/silage cuts\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-16\"\u003eUsed for fodder cropping and  HDL mixes\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-17\"\u003eSuitable to mix with winter active, short term ryegrass\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-18\"\u003eLong season growth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-19\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eBenefits of sowing Laser\u003cbr id=\"c1-id-20\"\u003eLaser is well adapted to various soil types, tolerating both  mild-waterlogging and mild soil salinity.

It is recommended that Laser only be used as a one year rotational crop, as Rust (Uromyces trifoliirepentis) can cause losses if consecutive crops are produced. Laser is well suited to hay and silage but not tolerant to heavy grazing and should be treated as a fodder crop and grazed rotationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-29\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eDisease Resistance\/Tolerance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-30\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003eLaser is resistant to Clover Scorch (Kabatiella caulivora) and has low resistance to Rust (Uromyces trifolii-repentis) on stems  and leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-31\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003ePest Resistance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"c1-id-32\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\"\u003ePersian Clovers are susceptible to attack from Lucerne Flea (Sminthurus viridis) and Red Legged Earth Mites  (Halotydens destructor).
