Cultivation time of Egyptian clover or Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) is very common in most of the villages of irrigated Punjab. Early sowing of berseem not only results in poor germination due to high temperature but weed (Itsit-Trianthema portulacastrum) problem sometimes may leads to utter failure of crop. Recent rainfalls of extraordinary monsoon have lowered the temperature earlier than previous years. In this video, under the light of prevailing climatic conditions, we have advised the farmers of north Punjab to start its planting after 20th of September, farmers of central Punjab after 1st October and in south Punjab after 10 of October. It is very risky to plant this crop so earlier than mid of September in central and southern Punjab.
Berseem is an important fodder crop of irrigated Punjab and it is known as queen of the fodders. In this video, we have suggested four best performing varieties of Berseem. Anmol-2011 and Punjab Berseem-2019 are considered as the best fodder producing varieties of Punjab. They continue to produce fodder until the month of June. Seed of these varieties is often short and small farmers grow Egyptian variety Maskavi or Ghora Barseem.
