Narrative

Improved seedling vigor and forage yield. Soft hollow-stems and pinnately-compound leaves with 19-25 leaflets. Seedling growth and regrowth after cutting is faster than Oxley. Better winterhardiness than any forage legume cultivar. Forage stands show no susceptibility to diseases while seed stands may show susceptibility to sclerotinia (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum). White to pale yellow flowers are borne on racemes. Flowering occurs over a long period of time. Some plants bloom from June to the first frost. Seeds larger, 4.34 g 1000-1 seeds compared to 3.83 g for Oxley. Intended for use as a pasture and silage legume in pure and mixed stands. Yielded 123% and 111% of Oxley check under dryland and irrigated conditions in western Canada, respectively.
