FORMATION OF GREEN MASS YIELD BY GRASS STANDS BASED ON RYEGRASS FESTULOLIUM (FESTULOLIUM LOLIACEUM)

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the studies on the formation of green mass yield by grass stands with Festulolium loliaceum over 2012-2014. It’s established that for the 1st year of the use the variants combining creeping clover varieties that are asynchronous in terms of growth and development are more advantageous in terms of yield, further this difference is leveled. Over the period of research the average green mass yield of binary festulolium grass stands with creeping clover (481.6-497.8 dt/ha) is not inferior to multicomponent grass stands with perennial ryegrass, meadow fescue, timothy grass, reed fescue, as well as the mixture of meadow fescue and reed fescue (437.3-509.5 dt/ha).
