Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Introduced, warm-season, annual to short-lived perennial, erect or climbing legume. Stems are densely hairy and become woody at their base as the plant matures. Leaves have 3 lanceolate leaflets, each 4-8 cm long. Flowerheads are racemes, with purple-red pea-like flowers borne on long erect stalks. Pods are 5-12 cm long and straight or slightly curved; becoming twisted when they shatter on maturity. Flowering is from late spring to autumn. A native of North, Central and South America, it was sown in the past and is now widely naturalized, especially on roadsides. It is sensitive to frost and high levels of soil aluminium and manganese. Provides a good quality, non-bloating feed, although palatability is low when plants are young and the leaf to stem ratio is fairly low. It has poor persistence when grazed; only lasting for 1-2 years under continuous grazing. Requires light or rotational grazing for best persistence; rest periods need to be 6-8 weeks in late summer and autumn to encourage seeding. |
