Description
For the renovation of deteriorated pastures O\\'ing to the invasion of Rumex obtusifollus L. sprout, manipulation of seeding rate of pasture plants was Investigated to reduce R. obtusifolius. In an autumn-sown sward, Loilum perenne L. was sown at 100, 300, 600, 1000 and 2000 g/a, Dactylis glomerata L. at 600 gta, and a mixture of 6 species were sown together with SO g/a of R, obtusifolius. Plant density and dry weight of R. obtusifolius declined clearly at high rates (1000 and 2000 g/a) of L. perenne compared with low rates, though this difference was likely to disappear with time after sowing. Although this high seeding manipulation costs more, it would be one of the alternatives for renovating pastures infested with R. obtusifolius seeds.
