SF Narrikup
Tolerance to red-legged earth mite
SF Narrikup is a very vigorous mid-late season subterraneum clover (ssp. subterraneum). It is best suited to well-drained, moderately acid (pH CaCl2 4.5 – 6.5) soils in areas of southern Australia with approximately 500 – 700 mm mean annual rainfall and where the growing season extends to mid-November.
Emerging seedlings of SF Narrikup suffer less damage from red-legged earth mite than older subterraneum clovers.
SF Narrikup has high winter production, driven by strong seedling regeneration
