HIGHLY WINTER ACTIVE (winter activity 8 – 10)<br />
Highly winter active varieties have very vigorous seedlings at establishment and show the fastest recovery from<br />
cutting and the most winter growth. Strict rotational grazing is essential for these varieties to persist. Highly<br />
winter actives have high production for at least three years so are ideally suited as a short pasture phase in a<br />
cropping rotation, this t<strong>here</strong>fore makes strict grazing management less critical. With good management they<br />
can persist for a lot longer.<br />
WL 925 HQ (9) Highly winter active, producing premium lucerne hay and grazing options. With<br />
dense dark green leaves to the base of the plant WL 925HQ combines exceptional<br />
forage quality, yield, persistence and year round growth. It recovers quickly from<br />
cutting and grazing. Broad spectrum pest and disease resistance.<br />
CUF 101 (9)<br />
CUF 101 is a public variety, which revolutionised the lucerne industry, when it was<br />
introduced in the 70’s because it was the first of the highly winter active varieties<br />
that was well adapted to most lucerne growing areas of the world. Superseded<br />
by SGA Alpha 1 - see page 19.<br />
SIRIVER (9) Now superseded by the new improved SGA Alpha 1 - see page 19.<br />
CROPPER 9.5 (9.5) Quick to establish, Cropper 9.5 is ideal for winter grazing and hay production.<br />
Sheep can graze cereal stubble with high protein lucerne throughout the following<br />
summer, autumn and beyond. Ideal for a 3–4 year break between cereal crops–<br />
suits under-sowing of cereals. Excellent for high quality hay. Good overall disease<br />
resistance.<br />
(9) Titan 9 is highly recommended for growers seeking high production under irrigation<br />
and superior persistence compared to other highly winter active varieties. Titan<br />
9 produces soft leafy hay and is quick to regrow after cutting. Titan 9 is highly<br />
resistant to Colletotrichum crown rot Race 4 and highly resistant to Phytophthora<br />
root rot, resistant to Colletotrichum crown rot Races 1, blue green aphid and<br />
spotted alfalfa aphid.<br />
