Journal Title: Advances in Agriculture & Botanics - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of some treatments fertilization, oversowing, cutting, grazing) on a Festuca rubra mountain pasture from Cindrel Mountains (Meridional Carpathians, Romania), in order to improve the quality of this pasture. Yearly fertilization with organic fertilizers or moderate chemical fertilization (N100P22K83 kg∙ha-1∙y-1) positively influence some soil chemical features, the nutritional status with N of plants and the level of forage yields of this pasture. The amplification of N biogeochemical cycle in the variants fertilized with moderate dozes of N determines significant increases of quantity and quality of forage production.
