SOIL AND NUTRIENT LOSSES LIMITATION ON SLOPE LANDS, WITH THE HELP OF BROMUS INERMIS LEYSS. SPECIES

Abstract

Recently the soil erosion phenomenon, materialized by soil loss has been emphasized by climatic variations, namely the lack of precipitation over extended periods of time, the immediate effect being the diminution of the obtained yields. Bromus inermis Leyss. species is a very well adapted to conditions of prolonged drought, it resembles high densities (1000-1100 plants per square meter) and is a species with high perenniality (it can hold over 10 years in the crop), and it can be used as a cultivated species to protect the soil from erosion. The solid leaks from the 4 monitoring plots were determined, ranging between 3.16 t·ha-1 at plot 2, cultivated with Bromus inermis Leyss. (100%) and 3.16 t·ha-1 at plot 1, the uncultivated control plot (2025-05-30) and between 3.16 t·ha-1 at plot 2, cultivated with Bromus inermis Leyss. (100%) and 3.16 t·ha-1 at plot 1, the uncultivated control plot (2025-07-20). In the plots where the species Bromus inermis Leyss. was sown, solid leaks determined were by 33.5-56.7% (2025-05-30) and 56.7-65.4% (2025-07-20) lower than in the control plot. The largest losses of hunus and soil nutrients were determined in plot 1 - control and plot 4 - Onobrychis vicifolia Scop. (100%), where adequate plants protection was not provided.
