“…This is consistent with other species and is similar to the results of the present study. Frequent forage cuttings resulted in an increase in CP content 39 which was not the case in the present study where forage cut at day 210 had the lowest (P < 0.001) CP content. However, this is in agreement with the findings of other researchers who found a decline in the CP and DMD of berseem clover plants with progress through the growing season (winter > spring > summer) 23 .…”

A field study was conducted on smallholder farmer fields between 2012 to 2014 to evaluate the performance of cv. Agaitti Berseem-2002, against local landraces exchanged between farmers (LBF1) or available from local markets (LBM1). The effects of genotype and harvesting regimen on forage production, quality and seed production were evaluated. Significant differences (P < 0.05) among genotypes and cutting treatments were recorded for forage and seed yields, and forage quality across all research sites in both years. Maximum cumulative fresh forage (89.7 t/ha) and dry matter (DM; 13.4 t/ha) yields were obtained with Agaitti Berseem-2002 when harvesting occurred five times over the season. However, maximum seed yield (1048 kg/ha) with higher 1000-seed weight (3.63 g) were obtained if forage was only harvested three times and the crop then left for seed set. Agaitti Berseem-2002 also produced forage with the higher crude protein content (27%), DM digestibility (69%), digestible organic matter (DM basis; 65%) and metabolizable energy content (10%) compared to the local landraces (LBF1 and LBM1). Therefore, the harvesting regimen for greatest economic return which produced optimum fresh and DM forage yields of highest nutritive values and maximum seed yield, were comprised of taking three forage cuts (at 65, 110 and 150 days after sowing) prior to seed harvest.forage and DM yields were obtained with T4 treatments (with five forage cuts); however, maximum seed yield was recorded with the T2 regimen, having declined under the T3 and T4 cutting treatments. Similar to the forage production, cv. Agaitti Berseem-2002 consistently outperformed both LBF1 and LBM1 at all locations in seed production. Scientific RepoRtS |(2020) 10:3545 | https://doi.

“…Egyptian berseem clover ( Trifolium alexandrinum L.) has considerable significance due to its limited ability to cause bloat problems when used as animal fodder, fast winter growth, and long growing season (2). It has been grown since the 6th century.…”
