Dalsa is a selected derivative of the naturalised strain of Dalkeith.
Dalsa is characterised by a very low formononetin and total isoflavone
content, high level of hard seededness and very strong seed
burial. Dalsa is a ‘showy ’ variety with very good herbage and outstanding
seed production, seeds are the largest of all subspecies
subterranean cultivars. After the establishment year, Dalsa regenerates
better than most other strains of early to midseason maturity
subclovers. It has persisted consistently well, equalling Nugarin
which it outyields in spring under favourable conditions. Dalsa subclover
is a highly productive, persistent, early season sub clover
which is suitable for situations requiring a long term selfregenerating
pasture or in cropping rotations in areas with rainfall
ranging from 325mm to 600mm.
