FLAMENCO SULLA

FLINDERS SULLA

 

Flinders is a new biennial forage legume ideal for short pasture rotations in both mixed farming and grazing systems. Flinders is a deep rooting, non bloating, drought tolerant, highly productive sulla with its main growing period from autumn to early summer. It is an erect growing plant that grows to 1.5 metres, it provides enhanced animal production and also makes excellent hay and silage. New Zealand researchers have found that condensed tannins
responsible for sulla’s non-bloating ability also produce a by-pass protein effect which produces additional live weight gains of about 10% and reduces worm burdens. Flinders is adapted to slightly acidic to alkaline, well drained solils having a pH of 5.5 – 8.0 (CaCl2) and grows poorly on acidic or
waterlogged soils, but will tolerate some salinity. It can tolerate a wide range of conditions and can be grown in areas having annual rainfall minimums from 500 mm or greater.
