BEHAVIOR OF A SHORT-TERM GRASSLAND FORMED FROM THE MIXTURE OF LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM AND TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE IN THE SUBCARPATHIAN AREA OF OLTENIA

Abstract

The paper presents the results regarding the behavior of a grassland sown in the sub-Carpathian area of Oltenia under the influence of the sowing time and the dose and nitrogen fertilization system. A mixture of 50 % Lolium multiflorum + 50 % Trifolium pratense was used. The data obtained clearly show the superiority of the grassland sown in autumn, especially in the case of the use of fertilizers, when increases of 7-8 t/ha are obtained compared to the grassland sown in spring. Within each sowing season, there is a big difference in the annual staggering of production. The annual dynamics were influenced primarily by the presence or absence of fertilizers and to a lesser extent, by the nitrogen administration system.
