Regeneration data (N.A.P.L.I.P.) has demonstrated a pattern of
seed softening from SARDI Persian making it better suited to
cropping than other commercial Persian cultivars. The regeneration
of SARDI Persian was far superior, at nearly double the density
of other commercial varieties. SARDI Persian can be grown on a
wide range of soil types ranging from 5.5 – 8.5 (CaCl2).
It is suited to temperate areas with annual rainfall from 300mm to
600mm. SARDI Persian is well suited to soils with high clay content
and performs par ticularly well on water – logged areas or
mildly saline soils. Suitable in a rotation with crops for nitrogen input
or as a break crop for disease while supplying high herbage /
forage yields for livestock. Grazing before the Autumn break will improve
regeneration.

Sardi Persian can be grown in a wide range of soil type (5.5 to 8.5 CaCl.)
• Selected for early maturity and vigour to allow its usage in low
rainfall region
Well suited to heavy, water logged clays and areas of mildly saline soils
