Viper Balansa
Viper is a late season annual clover providing higher hay yields and excellent seedling vigour for successful establishment. Viper demonstrates good tolerance of waterlogging and moderate tolerance of soil salinity to ensure outstanding performance in high rainfall zones. Its excellent late spring production and mature forage quality will assist in stock finishing for higher market prices.
Sowing rate:
5-8 kg/ha alone
1-2 kg/ha in a mix
Dustin sowed a mixed pasture which contained Flecha tall fescue, Arrowtas arrowleaf clover,Viper Balansa clover, Riverina and Dalkeith subclovers, lucerne and Tonic plantain. There was "green feed all year round. Plantain and lucerne in summer and clovers and Flecha tall fescue in winter". I "always have somewhere to finish lambs. I don't need to go buy grain to finish them."
