Abstract
In a 2-year study conducted during 1985-87, berseem reaction to root rot was studied in a sequence of crop plantings, The infection was only 17.22% when berseem was followed by sorghum compared to 57.79% where bersecm was followed by bcrsecm. This increased infection was probably due to the build up of the inoculum of root rot pathogens in continuous plantings. Green fodder yield was 53.67% higher where crop was followed by cotton as against a rotation where preceding crop was again a berseem. The study recommended berseem planting for higher green fodder yield and less root rot infection after cotton, cowpea, maize and sadabahar
