EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS REGARDING MINERAL FERTILIZATION AND FORMS OF NITROGEN, APPLIED TO TEMPORARY MEADOWS IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF OLTENIA

Abstract

The use of fertilizers is an important measure to increase and improve the quality of the fodder obtained from the temporary meadows (Barbulescu C. and colab. 1987). From the research carried out by us, it resulted that mineral fertilizers, especially nitrogen-based, contribute not only to the increase of the biomass harvest, respectively its quality, but especially to the improvement of the structure of the species used to make up the mixture of herbs. In this sense, for the area where the research was carried out, the use of the dose of P₇₀ combined with the application of an annual dose of N₁₂₀ in the form of nitrolimestone contributed to obtaining a production of about 9,7 t/ha s.u. and with the most favorable economic effects.
