Titan 9 lucerne is highly recommended for growers seeking high production under irrigation and superior persistence. Titan 9 produces soft leafy hay and is quick to regrow after cutting. Titan 9 is highly resistant to Colletotrichum Crown Rot Race 4 and highly resistant to Phytophthora Root Rot, resistant to Colletotrichum Crown Rot Races 1, blue-green Aphid and spotted alfalfa Aphid.
Sowing rate (sole): 5-25kg/ha
Sowing rate (mixed): 2-8kg/ha
Highly winter active (8-10): Good winter growth with an upright growth habit. Vigorous at establishment and fast recovery from cutting or grazing. High production for at least three years, making them a great option in cropping rotations. Strict rotational grazing management is required as highly winter active (8-10) lucerne varieties are comparatively less tolerant to grazing than semi winter dormant (5) and winter active (6-7) lucerne.
