Nie elke plaas werk dieselfde nie — jou lusern moet ook nie.

AgroFors se lusernreeks is saamgestel vir uiteenlopende Suid-Afrikaanse produksietoestande en benuttingstelsels.

✔️ Dormansiegroepe 7–10
✔️ Van intensiewe hooiproduksie tot weiding en dubbeldoel benutting.

Hier is hoe die reeks inpas:

➡️ FORS 1011* en FORS 1012* (D10): Hoogs winteraktiewe kultivars vir intensiewe hooistelsels waar hoë produksie, sterk blaarbehoud en kwaliteit bale belangrik is.

➡️ AlphaTec 921* (D9): Geskik vir besproeiingstelsels en lang groeiseisoene waar hoë droëmateriaalproduksie en meer snitte verlang word.

➡️ FORS 811* en AlphaTec 821* (D8): Veelsydige kultivars met ’n sterk balans tussen opbrengs, kwaliteit en volhoubare benutting in hooi- en dubbeldoel stelsels.

➡️ FORS 711* en SA Select* (D7): Meer geskik vir langtermyn-aanplantings, weiding en dubbeldoel stelsels waar standvastigheid, benuttingsbuigsaamheid en volhoubare produksie belangrik is.

Die regte dormansiegroep en kultivar bepaal hoe jou lusern gaan produseer, herstel en oor tyd presteer.

Wanneer oorweeg jy mengsels? 🌱

Afhangend van jou produksiedoelwitte, kan die regte gewasse ekstra waarde tot jou winterweiding toevoeg:

• Westerwoldse raaigras vir vinnige vestiging, sterk wintergroei en vroeë benutting.

• Italiaanse raaigras vir langer benutting en volgehoue produksie in koeler toestande.

• Eenjarige klawers vir verbeterde voerkwaliteit en natuurlike stikstofbinding.

Mengsels van verskillende spesies kan help om produksie beter deur die seisoen te versprei, voerkwaliteit te verbeter en produksierisiko te verminder.

👉 Die regte mengsel hang af van jou klimaat, waterbeskikbaarheid, grondtipe, benuttingstelsel en opvolggewasse.

👉 Praat met AgroFors oor die beste opsie vir jou plaas en produksiedoelwitte.

Bou ’n winterweiding wat langer hou 🌱

Die regte mengsel gaan nie net oor wat jy plant nie — maar hoe dit in jou rotasie inpas.

SSH 4185 hawer:

• Vinnige vestiging en sterk vroeë voer.
• Hoë droëmateriaalproduksie.
• Betroubare prestasie oor verskillende toestande.

Westerwolds raaigras maak die verskil:

Big Boss:

• Kry vinnig momentum ná vestiging.
• Sterk vroeë benutting.
• Pas goed waar jy vroeg wil oorskakel na opvolggewasse.

Arnoldo:

• Bou geleidelik deur die seisoen.
• Hoë kwaliteit, smaaklike voer.
• Hou die weiding langer aan die gang.

👉 Jou keuse hang af van jou plan:

• Big Boss vir spoed en vroeë rotasie
• Arnoldo vir volgehoue benutting

👉 Meng dit met jou hawer en laat jou weiding deur die seisoen werk.

👉 Gesels met AgroFors oor die beste kombinasie vir jou plaas.

Dormancy can make or break your lucerne production, and choosing the wrong type can cost you for years. 🌱

Here’s the simple breakdown:

Highly winter-active (D9–D10)

✔️ Strong winter growth.
✔️ High production potential.
✔️ Best suited to intensive hay systems under irrigation or higher production environments.

Winter-active (D8)

✔️ Strong balance between production and persistence.
✔️ Adaptable across a wide range of systems.
✔️ Well suited to hay and dual-purpose production.

More winter-dormant (D7)

✔️ More winter rest.
✔️ Strong stand persistence.
✔️ Better suited to grazing, dual-purpose and tougher dryland conditions.

In the AgroFors range:

➡️ FORS 1011 & FORS 1012 (D10): Intensive hay systems with high production potential.

➡️ AlphaTec 921 (D9): Irrigation systems and long growing seasons with high cutting potential.

➡️ FORS 811 & AlphaTec 821 (D8): Versatile, balanced performers for hay and dual-purpose systems.

➡️ FORS 711 (D7): Long-term persistence for grazing, dual-purpose and variable conditions.

The right dormancy means better adaptation, stronger stands and more sustainable production over time.

Vestiging bepaal alles. 🌱

Kry dit reg, en jou lusern begin van dag een af vir jou werk.

’n Goed gevestigde lusernstand beteken beter standdigtheid, sterker wortelontwikkeling, vroeër produksiepotensiaal en meer volhoubare opbrengs oor tyd.

Hier is vier stappe wat die verskil kan maak:

STAP 1: PLANT OP DIE REGTE TYD

Herfs bly in baie produksiegebiede die beste tyd om lusern te vestig. Koeler toestande, laer onkruiddruk en beskikbare grondvog help jong plante om sterk te vestig voor die hoë somertemperature.

STAP 2: KEN JOU GROND

Lusern verkies goed gedreineerde grond met ’n geskikte pH en goeie vrugbaarheid. Grondontledings voor plant help om pH, fosfaat en kalium reg te stel voordat die stand gevestig word.

STAP 3: INOKULEER KORREK

Sonder die regte Rhizobium-bakterieë kry jy nie die volle voordeel van biologiese stikstofbinding nie. Maak seker saad word korrek geïnokuleer voor plant.

STAP 4: KIES DIE REGTE KULTIVAR

Dormansiegroep, klimaat, bestuur en benutting bepaal watter kultivar die beste in jou stelsel gaan presteer.

Input costs are putting pressure on every hectare.
Land. Water. Labour. Fertiliser.

Every input matters — and every season it costs more.

One of the smartest ways to reduce nitrogen dependence starts in your crop rotation.

Lucerne forms a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria, helping to fix atmospheric nitrogen while contributing to long-term soil value.

That can support:

☑️️ Lower nitrogen requirements for follow-up crops
☑️️ Improved soil structure over time
☑️️ Strong, marketable hay production
☑️️ A more resilient production system

At the same time, lucerne continues to deliver what matters most: quality hay, good leaf retention, strong forage quality and reliable demand.

Lower input pressure. Better soil function. Long-term productivity.
It’s more than just lucerne — it’s a smarter farming system.

Die regte mengsel hang nie van een faktor af nie.

Om die beste resultate te kry, moet saaidigthede vooraf aangepas word volgens jou omstandighede:

• Streek en klimaat (somer- of winterreënval)
• Vogtoestande en produksiepotensiaal
• Jou doelwit (vroeë voer of langer benutting)

Algemene riglyne vir saaidigtheid:

Somerreënval-droëland:
• 35–50 kg hawer/ha
• 8–15 kg raaigras/ha

Winterreënval-droëland:
• 40–60 kg hawer/ha
• 10–20 kg raaigras/ha

👉 Die balans tussen hawer en raaigras bepaal jou benuttingsvenster en totale voerproduksie.

👉 Kontak AgroFors vir aanbevelings wat spesifiek by jou streek en stelsel pas.
