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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSequel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn and spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn and spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring or early autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly into a finely prepared, weed-free seedbed, covering seed approximately 5–10 mm deep.
