Dear colleagues,

The following publication has been released recently:

Egyptian Clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) - King of Forage Crops

A pdf of the publication is attached.

About the publication

Production of green herbage is attaining enormous importance, the world over, since demand for livestock  products is increasing. Berseem, Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) has achieved the distinction of being designated "king of forages". It was introduced to many countries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Because of its high production potential, easy cultivation, capacity to fix enormous amounts of atmospheric nitrogen and quick growth, it is grown on millions of hectares.

This publication brings together the outputs of the Expert Consultation as well as providing summaries of much of the, mainly Egyptian literature on berseem. It comprises chapters on: The crop and its growth; Agronomy; Crop improvement; Seed production; Chemical composition; Berseem cultivation; New vistas in berseem research - a series of essays and themes by Egyptian authors; and Country Papers from participating countries (Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan and Turkey) describing their experiences with berseem crop.




With this year end, we express to you a sense of gratitude for being with us and for being a part of many of our activities.



We hope to continue growing the relationship with all of you in the year to come.



Season's greetings to all, a merry Christmas and a very innovative, productive, healthy  and happy 2015.
