Ten varieties of berseem and a check were evaluated during rabi season of 2004-05 at Fodder Research Sub-station, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad. Significant differences were observed for plant height, number of tillers per square meter, number of leaves per tiller and green fodder yield. The variety Superlate Faisalabad was the tallest 4ariety (64.07 cm) closely followed by Anmol Berseem (64.06 cm) while Local D.I. Khan was the shortest (58.40 cm). Number of tillers varied from 102 (Local Sheikhupura) to 150 per square meter (Anmol Berseem) while number of leaves per tiller ranged from 9.80 (Local D.I. Khan) to 12.60 (Anmol Berseem). Higher green fodder yield (100.44 t/ha) was produced by variety Anmol Berseem followed by Superlate Faisalabad (91.78 t/ha), S-03-02 (90.89 t/ha), Faisalabad Late-1 (90.22 t/ha) and S-03-01 (87.77 t/ha). Check variety Pachaiti Berseem was 61.97 cm tall and produced 120 tillers per square meter w ith 11.80 leaves per tiller and green fodder yield of 78.22 tons per hectare.
