Blackhawk Arrowleaf Clover Seed Coated (Yuchi)

Blackhawk arrowleaf clover was developed by Dr. G. R. Smith withTexas A&M Agrilife Research in Overton, Texas. Advanced darkseeded selections from Yucchi, Amclo, and Meechee weresubjected to six cycles of selection for tolerance to Phythiumultimum and bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV). Dark seed coatshave been associated with resistance to Pythium and other soil-borne pathogen. Blackhawk seed is 95% black with a light variationin color degree and is highly resistant to Pythium ultimum.Blackhawk is also resistant to BYMV - induced lethal wilt, and showsresistance to other components of BYMV. Blackhawk is slightlyearlier in maturity, but maintains its high forage production throughmultiple grazings.
