Leucaena Grass (Leucaena leucocephala) | 3kg

Leucaena Grass (Leucaena leucocephala) | 1kg (MOQ: 5kg) Known as the “lucerne of the tropics,” this high-protein perennial tree legume transforms standard grass paddocks into high-yielding grazing systems. By investing in this permanent pasture upgrade, you establish a resilient, self-fertilizing forage source that delivers feedlot-quality nutrition straight from your soil.

Features of Leucaena Grass (Leucaena leucocephala) | 1kg (MOQ: 5kg):

1. Elite Protein Levels: Packs 20% to 30% crude protein to rapidly build cattle muscle mass and maximize daily milk yields.
2. Deep-Rooted Drought Shield: Taproots strike meters deep into the water table to pump out fresh, green forage when shallow grasses dry out.
3. Accelerated Liveweight Gains: Proven to elevate daily weight gains to premium feedlot standards without expensive grain overheads.
4. Built-In Nitrogen Factory: Naturally fixes atmospheric nitrogen to feed, green up, and boost the yield of surrounding companion grasses.
5. Enhanced Feed Efficiency: Natural condensed tannins optimize protein bypass absorption in the rumen while reducing enteric methane emissions.

Specifications:

1. Packaging: 1kg
2. Minimum Order Quantity: 5kg
3. Form: Cleaned, viable seeds
4. Origin: Tropically adapted varieties

Characteristics:

• Scientific Name: Leucaena leucocephala
• Product Form: Machine-scarified, high-germination forage seed
• Target Zones: Tropical, subtropical, and frost-free environments
• Soil Requirements: Deep, well-drained soils with a pH level between 5.5 and 8.0
• Longevity: Highly persistent variety capable of producing for over 30 years with correct management

Mode of Application:

1. • Site Preparation: Cultivate deep, clean seedbeds to eliminate all existing grass and weed competition.
   • Row Spacing: Sow in twin or single rows spaced 4 to 8 meters apart to allow grass growth between rows.
   • Seed Preparation: Mechanical scarification or hot water soaking is required to break the hard seed coat.
   • Seed Inoculation: Slurry-treat seeds with specific Leucaena Rhizobium inoculum immediately prior to sowing.
   • Sowing Depth: Deposit seeds precisely 2 to 3 centimeters deep into moist soil using a planter.
   • Sowing Rate: Apply 1.5 to 3 kilograms of pure live seed per hectare depending on row configuration.
   • Fertilizer Application: Band phosphorus and sulfur fertilizer directly below the seed line at planting.
   • Weed Control: Apply a pre-emergent herbicide or use mechanical cultivation to keep rows clean for 6 months.

Cautions / Warnings:

1. Avoid overgrazing during early establishment.
2. Ensure moderate weed control for best growth.
3. Store seeds in a cool, dry place before planting.
