The advantage of berseem clover over other clovers and alfalfa is its fast winter-growth rate. |
The berseem clover is too aggressive and will likely hurt the alfalfa stand underneath. |
Unlike most commonly grown annual clovers, berseem clover is quite tolerant of wet soils and also alkaline soils. |
It's composed of King annual ryegrass, Dwarf Essex rape and several clovers, including crimson, alsike and berseem. |
Although berseem clover grows well on a variety of soils, it prefers a medium-loam soil that is slightly alkaline. |
In the lower south, berseem clover can also be seeded in October for growth as a winter crop. |
