Vigor — Trifolium alexandrinum

Trifolium alexandrinum L.

A complex indicator of the vegetation intensity of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), assessed by germination speed, biomass accumulation during early development stages, and the rate of sward recovery after mowing.

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

For Trifolium alexandrinum, vigor is a qualitative characteristic of development intensity, especially in the initial stages. In research, this trait is determined through laboratory germination indices and seedling length, as well as field indicators such as plant height and the rate of green mass accumulation in the first cuts.

High vigor in this crop is critical for increasing the competitiveness of the sward against weeds and for obtaining early cuts. Since the plant requires nutrients before nitrogen-fixing bacteria become active, intensive development in the early stages promotes better rooting and adaptation under changing temperature conditions.
