Spellgrazer Desmanthus is a blend of Ray Desmanthus and Marc Desmanthus giving graziers the benefit of varying maturities, different growth habit and a more diverse pasture mix. Desmanthus is a highly productive, drought tolerant perennial legume that is very palatable to livestock, with high digestibility and protein (circa 12-20% CP) and is non bloating.
- Australia's most reliable Desmanthus blend
- Highly palatable mix of non bloating legumes
- Ideally suited and highly productive in heavy clay soils
- Excellent drought tolerant
- Tolerant to light frost and colder regions
- Exceptional persistence — under heavy grazing, recruits readily from seed and regenerates from the crown and produces a hard seed bank
- No requirement for height management
- Suitable for addition to stock licks and animal supplements (faecal seeding)
- Australian bred for Australian conditions
- Innoculated with the most compatible rhizobia strain for nitrogen fixation (CB3126)
- Does not require Leucaena rumen inoculum (S. jonesii or Leucaena Bug).
