Description
Summary:The work was carried aut to study influence of additional sown on the change of herbage composition. The experiment was situated in the Bohemian-Moravian Highland (Czech Republic) at an altitude 553 m. a. s. l. The semi-natural grass sward was created Festuca rubra (19.7%), Agrostis capillaris (15.5%), Taraxacum officinale (11.3%), Dactylis glomerata (11.0%), Elytrigia repens (9.4%), Trisetum flavescens (8.6%), Phleum pratense (8.0%), Poa ssp. (7.6%) and Trifolium pratense (7.7%) species. Additional sown of Festuca arundinacea (35 kg ha – 1) and Festulolium (35 kg ha – 1) was performed in the year 2000. The grass sward was cuted twice for year. First cut was in June and second cut in November. The proportion of Festuca arundinacea was 1.0% in June 2001 and 34.2% in June 2003. The proportion of Festulolium was 1.0% in June 2001 and 20.6% in June 2003. The additional sown species dominated more in November than in June. The proportion of Festuca arundinacea was fourth year for additional sown 73.7% and proportion of Festulolium 48.7%. The additional sown reflected on the change of herbage composition. The herbage composition was most expressive between second and third year.
