Narrative

A low cumarin cultivar of sweetcover. Will not cause hemorrhaging or "sweetclover disease" in farm livestock. Adapted to Western Canada. Seed and forage yields approximately 10% less than the cultivar Arctic. Pedigree: The low coumarin gene cu was incorporated into the well-adapted cultivar Arctic. Three backcrosses were employed using honeybees and large plant population. A total of 302 progenies were established in replicated tests, and 20% of the progenies were rogued prior to flowering.
