Leura Sub Clover

• Outstanding winter and spring herbage production
• Suited to high rainfall (>600mm) districts of NSW, Vic, Tas, SA and WA
• Excellent disease resistance

The most productive sub clover for the higher rainfall areas. LEURA is a mid - late season sub clover with very low levels of oestrogen. It can be considered safe ie. no risk of ewe fertility problems from grazing this cultivar. It displays a very prostrate growth habit and produces a low, dense sward. It has good resistance to the most common diseases affecting sub clover. LEURA’s strongest attribute is its outstanding dry matter production throughout the sub clover growing season. It has outproduced almost all sub clovers for both winter and spring production in the high rainfall districts. Its late season production is unrivalled by other sub clovers which makes it well suited to high quality hay production and for weaning stock. It is the only sub clover to include in perennial dairy pasture mixes.

LEURA has demonstrated outstanding value (re: table) compared to other clovers under trials to simulate a range of autumn break conditions. This performance has been confirmed by farmer experience.

Trials have proven increased wheat yields can be achieved following LEURA compared to Trikkala. This result is attributed to the higher nitrogen fixation from a longer growing season.

MANAGEMENT TIPS

• Leura sub clover should be sown at a rate of 5 - 8 kg per hectare, with companion species.
• Superstrike seed treatment is recommended.
