Narrative
Winter annual legume with high hard seed content, good freeze tolerance; proven to persist for years in pastures in Central and South Texas. Germinates with excellent vigor in fall with rains, grows throughout winter and matures and dies in April. Indeterminate flowering, seed sets over several weeks. Seeds set in burrs (about 5 seeds per burr) with spines about 1.4 to 1.6 mm long. Typically has seed mass of about 0.23 to 0.33 g per 100 sd. Forage yield normally about 4500 kg ha-1 when grown as monoculture. Dry matter yields in perennial grass stand usually much less, but usually sufficient to replace most of N-fertilizer required in pasture systems in Central and South Tex.
