Narrative
Basin’ is deep-rooted plant that can extract deep soil moisture and nutrients, resulting in significant drought tolerance and winter hardiness. Basin has bright showy pink flowers arranged in a loose raceme. Plant height of Basin varies with environmental conditions, but under favorable growing conditions it ranges between 50 and 76 cm with an average height of 61 cm. The average flowering date of Basin is 141 Julian days (May 20) which was four days later than Timp. Leaflet width at their widest point of Basin averages 7 mm with a range between 6-9 mm and an average number leaflets of 13 per leaf. ‘Timp’ previously the only cultivar of Utah sweetvetch while adapted to a wide range of soil types, can be characterized as prone to seed shatter and overall low seed set and production. Seed yield of basin in three years of the tests was more than double that of Timp at 682 kg/ha compared to 321 Kg/ha. Averaged across three years Basin’s forage yield averaged 1535 kg/ha compared to Timp at 869 kg/ha. In the same trials, forage from regrowth of BASIN averaged 433 kg/ha compared to Timp at 255 kg/ha. Crude protein of Basin from mid-June harvests averaged 29.4% which was no different than Timp but significantly greater than Vernal alfalfa at 21.8%. Crude protein of Basin from September harvests at 14.6 % was less than half that at the June measurement no different thanTimp and just over two percentage points less than Vernal alfalfa. In the same trials NDF of Basin at the June harvests averaged 24.7% was three and four percentage points lower (desirable) than Timp and Vernal alfalfa respectively. At the September test NDF of Basin and Timp as expected increased but were not different from each other but both were significantly lower (desirable) than the Vernal alfalfa.

Description:
Basin was evaluated as UV13 and was developed as a 24-plant synthetic cultivar through three cycles of recurrent selection for improved seed and forage production. Basin traces to 35% Timp (PI 584480), 18% AG 255 from the National Artic Plant Genetic Resource Unit, Palmer, AK, 10% DLEG 900004, and 1% DLEG 900300 (DLEG 900004 and DLEG 900300 Desert Legume Program seed collection, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ) and 6% W6 17266. The remaining 30 % was from 11 original collections from the central mountains of Utah.
