Australian bred Titan 7 is a winter active lucerne variety best recommended for irrigation and dryland conditions. It is a multi purpose variety for grazing and hay production that provides a high quality yield when sown in autumn through to early spring. For best results, sow into a moist, firm seedbed. It offers superior insect and disease resistance, withstanding Phytophthora Root Rot and all three strains of Colletotrichum Crown Rot.
Sowing rate (sole): 5-25kg/ha
Sowing rate (mixed): 2-8kg/ha
The Titan lucerne range is ideal for growers looking for high quality hay/grazing and a superior disease and insect package.
Bred in Queensland by Professor John Irwin, Titan lucerne varieties have proven yield and persistence across a wide range of environments and outstanding pest and disease resistance.
Winter Active (6-7): Tend to have smaller crowns with an erect growth that provides some winter growth (providing suitable temperatures). Although a multi purpose stand that provides quality hay production and grazing opportunities, strict rotational grazing management is required as winter active (6-7) lucerne varieties are comparatively less tolerant to grazing than semi winter dormant (5) varieties. For grazing tolerance see the Stamina® range of lucernes.
