Description

In Vojvodina province there is a certain acreage under hydromorphic, alkaline hydromorphic and alkaline soils which are not suitable for cultivation and growing of row crops. The acreage is roughly about 320000 ha. These soils may be culti­vated only a short interval because of their unfavorable physi­cal and aerial-hydrological properties and mechanical texture. If we add that the suitable machinery and implements are expensive, it becomes clear why farmers are unwilling to make use of that land (Zivkovic et al., 1972). The results of several research projects dealing with that problem indicated the estab­lishment of cultivated grasslands as an optimum solution (Mihalic et al., 1980; Miskovic et al., 1980, 1981, 1982). The objective of study was to examine possibilities of establi­shing cultivated grasslands on different abnormal soils with purpose of ensuring a cheap production of quality forage.
