This time of year is critical for setting lucerne stands up for a productive spring and ensuring growers maximise yield potential. Lucerne is a high-performing forage, but it needs the right conditions and support to deliver its best results after winter.
Why Plant-Stim Makes a Difference
Plant-Stim offers a unique opportunity to enhance lucerne performance heading into spring. The product is based on a fermented plant extract containing natural growth stimulants such as organic acids and secondary metabolites. Together, these compounds:
-
Stimulate new shoot and root development, ensuring strong regrowth after winter.
-
Improve stress resilience, particularly to cold and variable early-spring conditions.
-
Enhance photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, setting the crop up for higher biomass production.
Because Plant-Stim is designed to work with the plant’s natural processes, it provides a gentle but powerful boost to crop potential without disrupting other management practices.
Past Results in Lucerne and Other Crops
In on-farm trials and replicated research, Plant-Stim has consistently shown yield increases across a range of crops including pasture, maize, cereals, and fodder beet. For lucerne specifically, results have included:
-
Faster spring recovery – stands treated with Plant-Stim pushed new shoots earlier and more evenly.
-
Higher dry matter yield – extra cuts or increased bulk per cut were recorded in several trials.
-
Improved persistence – stronger root systems supported stand longevity and resilience through summer stress.
These outcomes demonstrate that even small additions of Plant-Stim can translate into significant feed gains over a season.
Ease of Application
Another advantage of Plant-Stim is flexibility. It can be easily applied through the sprayer, either on its own or mixed with other compatible spray products, making it a simple addition to regular management routines.
