Berseem Clover

Berseem clover has a moderate tolerance to salinity and can withstand short periods of waterlogged soils. Berseem clover is sensitive to weed competition and as a result should only be sown on clean, well-prepared seed beds. At 18-28% protein, young berseem clover is comparable to or better than crimson clover or alfalfa as feed. No cases of bloat from grazing berseem clover have been reported. Forage quality remains acceptable until the onset of seed production. It thrives very well on well-drained soils and due to its deep tap root it can withstand severe drought.
