Medicago sativa
Aurora Lucerne is a vigorous and reliable perennial legume valued for rapid establishment, fine leafy growth and strong recovery after cutting or grazing. Widely grown for livestock grazing and high-quality hay production, it is equally valuable as a green manure, soil-improving crop and productive addition to mixed pastures.
Deep-rooted plants perform best in deep, well-drained soils, where their extensive root systems can help improve soil structure, access moisture deeper in the soil profile and contribute substantial organic matter. As a legume, Lucerne forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, helping introduce biologically fixed nitrogen into the growing system.
Once established, Aurora has good tolerance to heat and dry periods and can respond rapidly following rainfall. Its soft purple flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, adding further value to farms, orchards and regenerative growing systems.
Young plants should be allowed to establish strongly before grazing. Avoid heavy grazing and do not graze below approximately 50 mm to allow sufficient foliage for plants to recover. Best performance is generally achieved around neutral soil pH, although Lucerne can grow across approximately pH 5–8. Annual rainfall requirements are around 375–500 mm, depending on soil and growing conditions.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn and spring
Mild climates: Autumn and spring
Cold climates: Spring or early autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly into a finely prepared, weed-free seedbed, covering seed approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep moist during establishment and avoid grazing or cutting until plants have developed a strong root system.
Lucerne performs best in full sun and deep, fertile, well-drained soil. For maximum nitrogen fixation, treat seed with the appropriate Lucerne inoculant where compatible rhizobia are not already established in the soil.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety. Not available for WA.
Medicago sativa 'Hunter River'
Hunter River Lucerne is a traditional Australian lucerne variety introduced by early settlers and widely grown throughout the country until the late 1970s, when newer cultivars with improved aphid resistance became available. This historic variety is valued for its low-growing habit, allowing it to withstand heavier grazing than many modern lucernes while providing highly nutritious forage for livestock.
A spring and summer growing perennial, Hunter River performs best in fertile, well-drained soils with a neutral to alkaline pH. It extends productive growth through autumn, winter and spring, making it particularly valuable in temperate regions. While productive and persistent under suitable conditions, it can be more susceptible to pests and diseases than newer lucerne varieties.
Approximately 450–550 seeds per gram
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to August
Mild climates: March to September
Cold climates: August to November
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 5–10 mm deep into a well-prepared seedbed with good soil moisture. Hunter River requires fertile, well-drained soils with a neutral to alkaline pH and is not suited to waterlogged conditions. Sow during autumn and winter in warmer regions, or in spring in temperate areas. Recommended sowing rates are 4–10 kg per hectare, depending on local conditions and intended use. Once established, plants develop deep roots that provide excellent drought tolerance and long-term productivity.
Not available for WA. Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.
Medicago sativa
Sequel Lucerne is a productive perennial variety with good winter activity, making it particularly valuable for maintaining growth and forage production through the cooler months. Its upright, erect growth habit makes it well-suited to hay production, yielding clean, high-quality cuts while also performing reliably in mixed pasture and grazing systems.
A hardy and practical variety, Sequel responds well to careful grazing and cutting management and has good regrowth potential when sufficient foliage is retained. Avoid cutting or grazing too close to ground level, allowing plants to maintain the reserves needed for vigorous recovery and continued production.
Sequel has good resistance to several common Lucerne diseases and aphids, contributing to its reliability and persistence in suitable growing conditions. Like other Lucernes, its deep root system allows established plants to access moisture from deeper in the soil profile, providing useful tolerance to dry periods while contributing organic matter and improving soil structure.
As a legume, Lucerne forms a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, helping introduce biologically fixed nitrogen into the growing system. Its purple flowers are also highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
