Chemical composition of red clover seeds

The results of the research carried out on the varieties of red clover (Trifoliumprаtense) variety of the Research Institute of Agriculture in Northern Trans Urals (Tyumen Region) are presented. Chemical composition of seeds is best of all studied in the cultures used for eating or for technical pur- poses, in othercultural plants is much weaker there- fore studying of chemical composition of seeds re- mains an actual topic. The purpose of the research was to study chemical composition of red clover seeds. Chemical composition of seeds was deter- mined in the Laboratory of analytical researches of the Research Institute of Agriculture of Northern Trans Urals. Total nitrogen was determined by col- orimetric method according to Kyeldal, phosphorusby vanadium and molybdenum method. To de- termine the potassium flame and photometric method was used. The research showed that nitro- gen content in the seeds of red clover varied slight- ly - 5.12- 5.65 %, with an average of 5...
