Overview

Kaituna lucerne has a low crown providing improved grazing tolerance and has been selected for resistance to major pests and diseases of lucerne in Australia. Kaituna is ideal for grazing and mixed regimes and is persistent under grazing and hay/silage production.      

Kaituna is suited to all lucerne growing regions where producers are looking for a semi-dormant lucerne with high
yield and quality but with good persistence under grazing.                                   

• Fine stemmed for better quality and palatability

• Semi-dormant in winter

• Versatile - persistent under grazing, hay/silage and mixed regimes

• High annual dry matter production

• Excellent pest and disease resistance
