Description

The object of renovation was to increase the production of run-down permanent pastures by cultivation and by replanting good grasses. The experiment went on for four years on disked and ploughed areas, with pasture mix seed. Although fertilizer was not applied to the seedbed, 3 types of fertilizers were used every spring except on the control plots. The dry matter yield of the original pastoral flora decreased from 2.9 to 2.2 t/ha. On the fallow land it increased from 2 to 2.3 t/ha. When planted after disking, it increased from 2.1 to 6.1 t/ha and when planted after ploughing it increased from 4.2 to 6.1 t/ ha. The results of this investigation show that treatment with nil fertilization increased the yield of seeded grassland. The average yield was determined by tilling and seedbed preparation in 18 %, by NPK fertilizer in 82 % respectively.
