10-20 kg/ha with clovers
- 400mm+
Coolamon
A black seeded sub clover variety with high seed production and hard seed levels, Coolamon offers improved seedling regeneration with dense swards for higher herbage development. This high yielding species has good resistance to clover scorch and improved winter and spring production. Ideally Coolamon is suited for sowing with Riverina in hay or grazing pasture mixes.
Sowing rate:
10-20 kg/ha alone
6-10 kg/ha in a mix

Uplands
Uplands is a fine leaved Mediterranean cocksfoot with high tiller density and a very high level of drought and cold tolerance. It is a winter active and partially summer dormant variety that persists well under grazing, producing a large bulk of high protein, high energy forage that is highly palatable.
Best adapted for sowing in low rainfall temperate areas, Uplands grows rapidly in autumn to late spring and is very tolerant of aluminium and acid soils.
Sowing rate:
4-5 kg/ha alone
2-4 kg/ha with early maturing sub clovers
- 350mm+
Urana
A black-seeded variety with very high hard seed levels and exceptional vigour in autumn and winter, Urana sub clover is adaptable for wide-spread use in cropping and pasture rotations, with increased dry matter production and strong red legged earthmite resistance – resulting in stronger seedling growth.
Sowing rate:
10-20 kg/ha alone
6-10 kg/ha in a mix
- 400mm+
