The Distribution of Fresh Matter Yields in Some Mixtures of Perennial Grasses and Legumes

Abstract

For many farmers the temporary pasture represents an alternative source in the constant supplying with fresh matter (FM) fodder for animals. The use of perennial fodder grasslegume mixtures best adapted to the local ecological conditions as well as the knowledge of the opportunity of fertilization can represent the guaranty and the efficiency of this source. The knowledge of fresh matter yield distribution on cuttings and on different fertilization doses in accordance with the ecological conditions of a specific zone permits a rational planning of fodder crops structure in a farm. The yields of M5 mixture (Trifolium pratense, Dactylis glomerata, Festulolium, Phleum pratense, Lolium perenne) on the three doses of fertilization varied very little, reason for it is recommended to be cultivated without fertilization in the similar ecological conditions with those from Jucu.
