0PI 601146'BIGBEE'Trifolium alexandrinum L. Mississippi, United StatesS91984DEVELOPEDCultivarWinter-hardy, the only cultivar of berseem clover that can survive north of the Gulf Coast and Peninsular Florida. Easily established, with vigorous seedlings and excellent fall production when planted early. Has a longer growing season than any other winter annual legume, produces more fall and winter growth than other winter annual clovers except Tibbee crimson clover, and continues to produce forage until late May or early June. Produces high yields of dry matter. Susceptible to crown rot and other root diseases common to other forage legume species. Crude protein is slightly higher than that of crimson clover and alfalfa. Acceptable forage quality is maintained until seed production. Gives high quality forage in combination with perennial or annual cool-season grasses. Last growth in the spring may be plowed under for green manure or cut for seed. Productivity enhanced by rotational grazing. Produces an abundance of seed with approximately 35 to 45% containing purple pigmentation with the remainder of the seed yellow. Seed is retained well by the mature plants; less susceptible to shattering at maturity than crimson clover. Adequate hard seed are produced for reseeding stands.1162154PI 601146
