Application of Nitrogen Fertilizers to Leguminous and Grain Meadow Plant Stands

Abstract

The results of the field experiments with leguminous and grain plant stands on the sod-podzol soils are stated. The influence of the doses of nitrogen fertilizers on the productivity and species composition of the plant stands for various methods of use of the meadows has been considered. The influence of the nitrogen dressing on the condition of the leguminous and grain plant stands for various terms of performing such dressing has been shown. The data showing the dynamics of varying the content of creeping trefoil and meadow clover in the plant stands in both the haying and grazing use has been presented.
