Description
Experiments were carried out to improve meadows on temporarily waterlogged soils with 25 % of Juncus spp. in the sward. Under grazing conditions, Juncus was exterminated by applying 5 kg 2,4-D per hectare and year in the course of two years and cutting after each treatment. Complete destruction of Juncus spp. was reached by means of ploughing up and reseeding. After that practice Dactylis glomerata developed best. The seeded meadow responded well to fertilization. The highest yield increment (6.02 t DM/ha) was reached at fertilizer rates of 240 kg N, 90 kg P, and 90 kg K per hectare. The profitable rates, however, varied between 120 kg N, 60 kg P, and 60 kg K per hectare and 120 kg N, 90 kg P, and 90 kg K per hectare.

The improvement of Juncus meadows on temporarily waterlogged soils in the Socialist Republic of Romania
