However, inoculation treatment gave the highest forage, dry matter and crude protein yields in gelemen clover (29.5, 5.2 and 1.05 t $ha^{-1}$, respectively).
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The effects of rhizobium inoculation and different nitrogen dose combinations (control, inoculation, 30 kg $ha^{-1}$ N, 60 kg $ha^{-1}$ N, 30 kg $ha^{-1}$ N + inoculation and 60 kg ha-1 N + inoculation) on forage yield and quality of three annual clovers (crimson, gelemen and berseem clover) were evaluated under the Black Sea Coastal Area Conditions, Turkey, in the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 growing seasons.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The experiments were randomized block design with three replications for annual clovers, seperately.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:However, inoculation treatment gave the highest forage, dry matter and crude protein yields in gelemen clover (29.5, 5.2 and 1.05 t $ha^{-1}$, respectively).

Abstract
The effects of rhizobium inoculation and different nitrogen dose combinations (control, inoculation, 30 kg $ha^{-1}$ N, 60 kg $ha^{-1}$ N, 30 kg $ha^{-1}$ N + inoculation and 60 kg ha-1 N + inoculation) on forage yield and quality of three annual clovers (crimson, gelemen and berseem clover) were evaluated under the Black Sea Coastal Area Conditions, Turkey, in the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 growing seasons. The experiments were randomized block design with three replications for annual clovers, seperately. The highest forage, dry matter and crude protein yields were obtained from 30 kg $ha^{-1}$ N + inoculation treatments in both crimson clover (18.2, 4.2 and 0.71 t $ha^{-1}$, respectively) and berseem clover (31.1, 6.1 and 1.15 t $ha^{-1}$, respectively). However, inoculation treatment gave the highest forage, dry matter and crude protein yields in gelemen clover (29.5, 5.2 and 1.05 t $ha^{-1}$, respectively).
