Narrative
The multiple generations of intermating and seed increase the Canadian milkvetch germplasms which are adapted to their respective ecoregion and plant hardiness zone. Plants of ASCA-251-HZ5 are morphologically similar to those found in native prairies in its respective ecoregion and Plant Hardiness Zone. The germplasms differ in maturity from germplasms based on northern collections which flower earlier in the summer. There is variation within this germplasms for maturity, plant height and other traits. Plant breeders can use this germplasms as a base populations for cultivar development or companies producing seed of native plants can use it as a seed source of known adaptation. Canadian milkvetch can be used in plantings for forage, conservation, pollinators and wildlife food

Pedigree
Description:
LECA-251-HZ5 was developed from seed collected from native tallgrass prairie sites in Nebrasak (3), Iowa (3), Kansas (1), and Missouri (1) which are in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5. The collections were intermated in isolated seed increases nurseries for 3 generations to produce LECA-251-HZ5.
