Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: As part of the Great Basin Native Plant Selection and Increase Project, we have collected and evaluated several native western legumes. Germplasm releases were made, but much work remains to be done concerning how to establish these legumes for seed production and on rangelands. We report herein how seed scarification, time of planting, depth of planting, and soil type affect germination and establishment of prairie clovers and basalt milkvetch.
