Lucerne sowing times and practices across districts
Lucerne sowing should occur mainly in August and September under irrigation in western areas, with autumn sowing favored inland and on the North Coast to avoid winter weeds. In warmer districts spring sowing may suit, while drought can push autumn sowing. heavy rainfall and soil preparation are noted as essential for a good stand. Varieties Tamworth, Hunter River, and Mudgee show no clear advantage over established strains, and imported types are doubtful for local performance.
