Narrative
Improved seed emergence. Area of adaptation similar to Lutana which includes high elevation meadows, irrigated pastures at lower elevations, and dryland areas with an annual precipitation of 40cm or more. Forage yields equal to or greater than Lutana. Average plant spread from rhizomes for the component progenies under spaced conditons range from 92 to 133% of that of Lutana with a mean of 117%. Forage quality as measured by percentage crude protein, in vitro dry matter digestibility, and cell wall constitutents similar to more commonly grown forage legumes. No case of bloat reported. Maturity and seed yields similar to those of Lutana.
