SEED PRODUCTION IN RED CLOVER (TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE L.), UNDER CONDITIONS OF AGRO-ECOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The agro-ecologic technology proposed, of seed production in red clover, relies on the following technological elements: bacterial inoculation of red clover seeds, application of organic fertilizers or red clover associated cultivation (with a graminaceous plant). Under these conditions, we achieved an average seed yield of 234 kg/ha, 7.3% more than in the classic technology (application of chemical herbicides and fertilizers).
