Trialled and tested in multiple environments and conditions, Warrego GT6 is a significant step up in grazing tolerance and persistence compared to older dormancy 6 varieties. Bred to persist for prolonged periods of set stocking, Warrego GT6 provides growers with grazing flexibility, high quality hay, persistence similar to a dormancy 5 and, the winter activity of a 6. Warrego GT6 is a new generation, highly persistent, true grazing tolerant lucerne. Warrego GT6 was selected and bred from grazing tolerance trials in Leigh Creek (VIC) and Gundagai (NSW) and trialled under the internationally recognised Standard Test Protocol for grazing tolerant lucernes.
Sowing rate (sole): 5-25kg/ha
Sowing rate (mixed): 2-8kg/ha
In comparison to older cultivars, such as Aurora, and after all cultivars were trialled under the internationally recognised Standard Test Protocol for grazing tolerant lucerne, it was evident that:
