Lucerne crop

Lucerne is a valuable deep tap-rooted perennial legume that can produce high quality fodder throughout the year and is a reliable source of protein for finishing livestock. Traditionally, the main growing season for lucerne has been through spring, summer and early autumn but many new varieties have been bred with improved winter activity. Lucerne is able to fix its own nitrogen and is a popular choice for correcting soil erosion, salinity and rising watertables. Lucerne is an acid sensitive plant. Low pH (high aluminium) reduces root development, so it is essential to correct soil acidity levels through lime application prior to investing in lucerne seed.
