“…Moreover, the increases in vegetative growth lead to heavier seeds (weight of 1000 seed). These results are in harmonious with those reported by Beena et al (2011) on berseem and Thalooth et al (2006) on mungbean and Aboelgoud et al (2015) on multi-cut berseem variety " Serw 1 " . Such enhancement effect could be attributed to the favorable effect of this nutrient on metabolism and biological activity and its stimulating affection photosynynthetic pigments and enzyme activity which in turn increase vegetative growth traits of plants (Tausz et al, 2004).…”

S EVERAL field and laboratory experiments were carried out to study the effect of different potassium (potassien) rates as foliar application on growth traits, yield and yield components of mono-cut Egyptian clover (variety Giza 1). Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm Station of El-Serw, Damietta Governorate, Mansoura, Agriculture Research Center (salt affected soil) and tow laboratory experiments at the Forage Crops Res. Depart.,

“…These findings may be attributed to more branching capacity of berseem with more well filled heads. The same results were founded by Beena et al (2011) and (Paricha andBansal, 2002, andTiwari et al, 2003) they reported that as potassium is known to exert a special influence on formation and translocation of photosynthetic material, any deficiency of this element will lead to either shrunken or undersize seeds. As the potassium rates are raised, escalated translocation of photosynthate to the young forming seeds leads to formation of larger seeds.…”

“…Meanwhile, the lowest number of heads/m 2 was observed in control treatments. The possible reason could be due to the fact that, there was more vegetative growth in berseem which leads to production of more heads (Beena et al, 2011).…”

“…These increase may due to Nelson (1978) believed that potassium has a positive role in plant growth under saline conditions, because this element plays an essential role in stomata movement, photosynthesis and regulation of osmotic pressure for plant. Moreover, Beena et al (2011) The possible reason could be due to more branching capacity of berseem with more well filled heads which resulted in greater number of seeds head-As shown in Table (3) plants extract affect significantly on no. of seeds/head in the second season only.…”

“…There are a number of reports describing the role of potassium in improving the yield and quality of the seeds in many crops (Tiwari et al, 2003). Also, This might be due to the fact that higher number of plants emerged with more branches, better filled heads and sound and plump seeds which in turn yielded more seed in berseem (Beena et al, 2011) .…”

Field and Laboratory experiments were conducted at the experimental Farm Station of El-Serw, Damietta Governorate and Seed Technology Research Unit , Mansoura, during the season of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, to study the effect of potassium fertilization rates e.g. 0, 15 K 30 , 45 kg K2O and foliar spraying of some plant extracts i.e. rose water, mango and orange was used for spraying Berseem plants in each plot at flowering and seed filling stages to study the effect on forage and seed yield of berseem clover cv. Serw 1 as well as seed quality under saline soil condition. The experimental was arranged in strip plot design with three replicates. Potassium fertilizer rates were devoted in the horizontal plot whereas, the water and some plant extracts were assigned in vertical plot. The experimental plot area was 3x4 m 2. The results could be summarized as follows: Adding potassium fertilizer rates in high portion (45 kg K2O) markedly increased green ad dry forage yields when compared with the other portions i.e. 15 and 30 kg K2O. in the first, second and third cut, respectively. The lowest value of green forage yields were observed under the control treatments (without fertilization). The highest number of heads/m 2 , weight of heads/m 2 and no. of seeds/head, straw and seed yield kg/fed increased significantly in the two seasons when plots treated with the high portion of potassium fertilizer rates, while the lowest means of the above mentioned characters were observed in control treatments. In addition, 1000-seed weight, straw yield and seed yield kg/fed didn't reach the significance of differences in the first season. Spraying berseem with water and/or plant extracts achieved the highest mean of significance of differences in the second season for no. of heads/m 2 , weight of heads/m 2 , no. of seeds/head and 1000-seed weight , straw and seed yield/fed. when using orange plant extracts. With regard to seed quality, with increasing potassium application seed and seedlings vigor traits as measured by accelerating aging test, electrical conductivity of leached seed, seedling length, seedling dry weight and seed vigor index were the best comparing obtained seed from unfertilized plots with potassium. The studied plant extracts had significant effects on germination percentage, electrical conductivity, seedlings dry weight and seed vigor index meanwhile the effect on accelerating test and seedling length was insignificant.

SUMMARYBerseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) is an important forage legume and is the primary winter forage crop in Pakistan. There are significant gaps in yield potential among varieties of berseem clover, as well as yields obtained at research stations and on-farm. To address this problem a survey of farmers was undertaken in the districts of Kasur and Okara, Punjab, Pakistan to determine the level of knowledge and understanding of berseem forage cultivation and seed production. The study comprised 44% smallholder (<3 ha), 26% medium (3–5 ha) and 30% large farmers (>5 ha) with average age of 42 years. Most farmers had little or no knowledge of the role of seed quality, inoculation with rhizobium, pollination, fertiliser use, irrigation management and the importance of forage nutritional value in improving livestock productivity. Most farmers (56%) had received no input from the government or private sector to improve forage production, relying instead on traditional knowledge. Knowledge of the importance of land preparation (95%), sowing rate (98%) and insect and pest management (75%) was higher than seed selection and fertilisation. Adoption of improved varieties (3%) and production technologies (14%) was low due to various constraints including ignorance, high cost of inputs, lack of availability of inputs in the market and a perceived high level of financial risk. Almost 100% of the respondents agreed that seed of improved varieties was a pre-requisite for higher forage and seed production as well as essential to start village-based forage seed enterprises.
