Narrative
Berseem clover, somewhat decumbent rather than erect winter annual landrace, evolved under irrigated agriculture in Egypt perhaps over last 1000 years. Commonly referred to as intermediate berseem clover type between multicut and unicut types, since it has both basal and stem branching and can be cut two to three times during winter-spring growing season. In Egypt, where this type of berseem is commonly used, is considered a droughty type due to unusually long tap root characteristic. Considered very nutritious for livestock and commonly grown in Upper Nile River above Cairo. Growth habit lower than other berseem types, has peculiar glaucous appearance enabling one to distinguish it from other types. Due to somewhat decumbent nature, is often sown with erect plant types such as barley and/or wheat. Seed color predominantly yellow, approx. 400,000 seeds/kg.
