Berseem is chief leguminous forage crop of Pakistan. Fodders are the best source of nutrition for animals. However, production of berseem is low due to inadequate seed rate. So, an experiment was designed to study the effect of seed rate on yield and yield components of berseem. The study was conducted at Fodder Research Institute, Sargodha, Punjab-Pakistan during 2015-16 and 2016-17. Different seed rates were used 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25 kg ha-1. The data related to plant height (cm), no. of capsule m-2, no. of seedcapsule-1, seed yield kg ha-1, 1000 grain weight (grams) were taken at harvest. Significant differences were noted in all the parameters under study. Results indicated that 10 kg ha-1 has the highest potential to achieve maximum plant height (84.50 cm), no. of capsule (470 m-2), no. of seedcapsule-1 (55.00), 1000 grain weight (898.33g) and seed yield (2.8 kg ha-1 under agro-climatic conditions of Sargodha.
