The Behavior of Medicago sativa and Bromus inermis Mixture Subjected to Different Conditions of Fertilization

Abstract

In general, in the West European countries, countries with a developed growing animals sector, the surfaces covered by seeded meadows is in continuous growth (Rotar,2010,2011). Carlieretal. (1998), underlines the fact that seeded meadows have valuable attributes, unequaled by those registered by other forage crops. Among these stands, first of all, the high yields, this can be 3-5 times larger than those achieved by permanent grasslands. Our study followed the behaviour of Medicago sativa and Bromus inermis fertilized with gulle and manure, on an experience located in Cobatesti village, Odorheiul Secuiesc area. Our experience was installed after the subdivided parcels method, on a loamy soil. The mixture showed different reactions, according to the type of fertilizer applied. The highest yield registered on the experiences fertilized with manure was 12.59 t/ha DM, when 30 t/ha manure were applied, and the highest yield registered on the experiences fertilized with gulle was 14.26 t/ha DM, when 5 t/ha gulle were applied.The mixture consisting in Medicago sativa and Bromus inermis showed to be very productive and suitable for drought areas.
