Titan Australian bred lucerne trial analysis

Breeding

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.

 

Activity/dormancy

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.
