Morphological Characteristics of Different Fodder Berseem

Berseem is an annual legume that grows 30-80 cm high with hollow stems and alternate leaves bearing 4-5 cm long leaflets. It is commonly grown in pure stands and mixtures in the Mediterranean basin. Genetic studies found higher heritability and genetic variance for dry matter yield in short cycle berseem populations compared to long cycle. Maize plants typically grow 3 m tall with 20 internodes of 18 cm length. Each node bears a 9 cm wide by 120 cm long leaf. Oats are annual cereal grasses grown for their edible grains. They have a fibrous root system and erect, hollow culms bearing alternate, 15-40 cm long leaves. The loose panicle

Morphological characteristics of different fodder

Berseem
 Berseem is an annual, sparsely hairy, erect forage legume, 30 to
80 cm high. Berseem has a shallow taproot. Its stems are hollow,
branching at the base, with alternate leaves bearing 4-5 cm long x
2-3 cm broad leaflets.
 Berseem clover Trifolium alexandrinum L. is an annual forage
legume commonly grown in pure stands and in grass mixtures in
the Medi‐terranean basin.
 Six populations were naturally cross‐pollinated by a half‐sib
breeding method.
 Genetic variability, narrow‐sense herilability, genetic and
phenotypic correlations among forage and seed yield component
trails were investigated.
 The genetic variance in dry matter among maternal half‐sib
populations in short cycle was 51% greater than in long cycle.
 Narrow‐sense heritabilily was 35% higher in short cycle than
long cycle for dry matter and 26% higher for seed weight than
seed yield.
Maize:
Structure and physiology. The maize plant is often 3 m (10 ft) in height, though
some natural strains can grow 13 m (43 ft). The stem is commonly composed
of 20 internodes of 18 cm

(7.1 in)
length. A leaf, which grows from each node, is generally 9 cm (4 in) in width
and 120 cm (4 ft) in length.
Oat
Oats do not have an auricle. It has a greatly shortened stem with leaves giving
a rosette type of plant. Each plant has tiller or branch buds from the fibrous
root under the soils surface that grow into additional plants. Leaves are wider
than other small grains.
The oat plant grows to a height of 1.2 m. It has a fibrous root system. Its culms
are erect, smooth, and hollow. The leaves are linear, alternate, and acuminate.
Leaf blades are 15-40 cm long and 0.6-1.5 cm broad. The inflorescence is a
terminal, loose, curved, and branched panicle that bears solitary and
pendulous spikelets. The spikelets have generally two overlapping husks
(glumes). The fruit is a hairy cylindrical and slightly ridged caryopsis, 0.6 to 0.8
cm in length, enclosed in hulls which are difficult to remove
Oats, (Avena sativa), domesticated cereal grass (family Poaceae) grown
primarily for its edible starchy grains. Oats are widely cultivated in the
temperate regions of the world and are second only to rye in their ability to
survive in poor soils. Although oats are used chiefly as livestock feed, some are
processed for human consumption, especially as breakfast foods. The plants
provide good hay and, under proper conditions, furnish excellent grazing and
make good silage (stalk feed preserved by fermentation).

Oats are annual plants and often reach 1.5 metres (5 feet) in height.The
long leaves have rounded sheaths at the base and a membranous ligule (small
appendage where the leaf joins the stem). The flowering and fruiting structure,
or inflorescence, of the plant is made up of numerous branches bearing florets
that produce the caryopsis, or one-seeded fruit. Common oats are grown in
cool temperate regions; red oats, more heat tolerant, are grown mainly in
warmer climates. With sufficient moisture, the crop will grow on soils that are
sandy, low in fertility, or highly acidic. The plants are relatively free
from diseases and pests, though they are susceptible
to rust and anthracnose on their stems and leaves.
