      Berseem clover

      Berseem clover seed produces a short-term annual legume that is also referred to as Egyptian clover.

      Berseem clover seed can establish quickly and produce biomass when sown at suitable temperatures.

      As a cover crop, Berseem clover can be used as soil-improving green manure. Some work has shown that it can be used as a companion crop in oilseed rape.

      • Sowing rate: 10-15 kg/ha. Avoid sowing too deep
      • Sowing time: Sow from mid-July up until 15 September if sowing for ACRES
      • Frost tolerance: Berseem clover is sensitive to frost
      • Biomass: High biomass potential
      • Pests & diseases: Generally not a problem
