Antillo is a late season sub clover providing a new and improved replacement for Antas (ssp. brachycalycinum).
Antillo
BETTER SEED REGENERATION AND DISEASE RESISTANCE FOR MORE FEED
Antillo is well adapted to neutral to alkaline soils but will perform well in moderately acidic soils (pH CaCl2 6.5-8.5). It has improved seed yield and has shown superior performance over those older varieties after the establishment year. This is due to its improved seed yield and disease resistance resulting in higher regeneration levels over other brachycalycinum varieties. It is best suited to areas with approximately 700-900 mm annual average rainfall. Antillo establishes rapidly like other brachycalycinums. It can be used as for permanent and semi-permanent pastures in neutral to alkaline soils and where soil-cracking is likely over summer. It can be used in cropping rotations or for specialist hay and silage production due to its outstanding first year production.
