This research was conducted to determine the forage yield and forage quality of some berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) cultivars for two years in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 growing seasons under dry land conditions of Kozan. In the study, two berseem clover cultivars (Derya and Efsane) were tested. The experiment was established according to a randomized block design with three replications at the Research and Application area of Kozan Campus of Çukurova University, Adana. In the study, according to the two-year average values; Depending on cultivars of berseem clover varied plant height between 91.5-102.4 cm, green forage yield between 2219.4-2795.4 kg da-1, hay yield between 521.4-761.2 kg da-1, ADF rate in dry matter between 40.4%-41.5%, NDF rate in dry matter between 54.8%-57.6%, crude protein rate in dry matter between 17.8%-20.4% and relative feed value between 91.4-97.7. In line with the findings obtained from the research, it was concluded that Efsane cultivar, which has high forage yield although its forage quality is lower than Derya cultivar, can be recommended in order to provide quality roughage for livestock farms under the dry land conditions of Kozan and similar ecologies.
