Alsike clover productivity

Trifolium hybridum L.

A comprehensive indicator including forage, seed, and honey productivity, which is limited by the crop's ecological adaptation to moist and acidic soils.

In the reference 6 varieties crop Alsike clover, where this is mentioned in the description.

The forage productivity of the crop is evaluated by the dry matter yield, reaching 10 t/ha, and green mass in the range of 60–120 c/ha. When assessing seed productivity, indicators vary from 0.5 to 3.5 c/ha, and the honey productivity potential is 130–200 kg of honey per hectare.

The productivity of alsike clover is closely related to its ecological specialization for waterlogged and acidic soils, where it maintains high yields unlike other clover species. The productivity level tends to decrease after the first 2–3 years of life, with tetraploid forms demonstrating higher indicators than diploid ones.
