Stamina 5
Lucerne
- A grazing tolerant lucerne that is semi-dormant
- Ultra-persistent under grazing
- Tolerates prolonged set-stocking and close grazing
- Produces excellent quality hay
- Has good overall resistance to most lucerne diseases
Stamina 5 is a semi-dormant (5) lucerne with little winter growth but excellent yield and quality through the warmer months. It is the ultimate choice where a stand is required for prolonged periods of set-stocking.
“19 ha of Stamina 5 lucerne stand gets utilised in two ways; firstly to cut haylage for winter supplement and secondly for lamb finishing. It is a great comfort to go down to the farm and see my lambs grazing something green and beneficial. With weight gains of over 300 g/head, this allows us to manage our pastures with good postgrazing residuals and also helps us fill any feed deficits.”
