A mid-late berseem clover, suitable for pasture, fodder or green manure

• Erect-ascendant
• Excellent frost and fungal infections tolerance
• Good resistance to frost and plant diseases
• Leafy, in optimal irrigation conditions can obtain different cuts of fresh forage with high nutritional value
• Well-known forage legume, adaptable to different climates and soils

• Erect plants with thin, hollow, branching stems
• Plant height – 60-80 cm
• Develops quickly
• Re-grows very quickly
• Produces a lot of biomass
• Possible yields of green mass – 25-50 t/ha, depending on growth conditions, moisture regime
• In well-irrigated soils and in favourable conditions, it is possible to obtain 3-4 harvests of green mass, 7-10 t/ha dry mass yield, in drier soils – 2-3 cuts, 4-6 t/ha dry mass yield
• Flowers – pale yellow/white/creamy, oval/cone-shaped, ~ 2 cm in diameter
• Each pod contains 1-2 seeds
• Possible seed yields – up to 1200 kg/ha
• Seeds – oval
• The colour of the seeds is from yellow to red-brown
• Weight of 1000 seeds – 2.9-3.3 g
• Adapts well to both cold and hot climate growing conditions
• Resistant to fungal diseases
• Resistant to drought and heat
• Tolerates frost
• Frozen at -5 °C / -10 °C
• Good feed quality (high protein), good digestibility
• The nutritional value of forage is comparable to that of alfalfa forage
• Excellent alternative to alfalfa in dry soils
• Prefers deep fertile moist soil
• Tolerates waterlogged soils
• Tolerates more acidic or saline soils (pH 6.0 to 8.5)
• Can be grown alone or in mixtures with other fodder grasses (clover, oats, Italian ryegrass)
• Medium resistant to trampling (grazing)
• Fixes nitrogen
• Thanks to the well-developed root system, this type of clover can be grown for green manure, especially is well-suited for cultivation before wheat cultivation (or between wheat cultivation)
• Suitable for sowing with cruciferous plants in green manure mixtures (due to the similar weight of 1000 seeds)
