CREATION OF HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE POLYCOMPONENT AGROCOENOSIS OF FODDER CROPS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF FODDER

The grass mixtures in the conditions of the southeast of the republic have formed up to five full mowings when the pasture regime of herbage use was applied, two mowings at the haymaking regime and four mowings at the combined regime. The following mixture formed a stable productivity: alfalfa + sainfoin + orchard grass + perennial ryegrass, they were the most productive of the mixtures in all modes of herbage use imitation. In total 9 mowings of 144 samples were made, the green and dry weight of 2,592 samples was determined.
