Berseem Clover

Variety is Balady
(1 customer review)
  • Fast-growing annual for quick biomass
  • Fixes up to 100 lbs N/acre at flowering
  • Tolerates wet soil conditions better than most forage or cover crop legumes, but doesn’t do well in drier conditions
  • Slightly more cold tolerant than crimson: can potentially overwinter but usually winterkills
  • Documented to overwinter in USDA winterhardiness zone 6b; will likely winterkill north of that zone
  • Excellent early fall cover crop potential after silage corn, small grains or early soybeans
  • Doesn’t cause bloat
  • Inoculated with OMRI-approved inoculant

Seeding: 12-15 lbs/acre at ¼” to ½” deep. Drill or increase rate to broadcast seed.

Excellent companion with fall oats

I have been including Berseem at 5-10 lbs/acre with oats planted late August to mid-September in northern WI. It grows at a similar rate as the oats giving a solid stand. I usually graze fields of Berseem/oats in October with sheep, moving them through quickly, then leave the stand for the winter (it catches snow adding soil protection). In the spring this is often my nicest ground to work for vegetables (my main crop) with excellent tilth. Great product.
