Plant height — Egyptian clover

Trifolium alexandrinum L.

Plant height in Egyptian clover is a key morphological indicator reflecting green mass accumulation and determining harvesting timing and crop yield.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Egyptian clover, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Egyptian clover, the plant height range under typical conditions is from 30 to 60 cm, although intensive management practices and favorable growing conditions allow for reaching 70–75 cm. Measurements of this trait are conducted at the onset of flowering using a measuring ruler or rod to obtain the average value from a sample of plants in the plot.

The trait correlates directly with productivity, cultivar type, and its regrowth capacity after cutting. Height is a determining factor in selecting harvesting machinery and establishing optimal mowing dates, as the accumulation of the maximum volume of dry matter and protein in forage requires monitoring the development parameters of the stand throughout the season.
