Abstract

The results of research on the development of rational combinations of the main crop-forming factors of a new perennial fescue reed culture for the region, combined with seed and fodder, are presented. It is established that the agrophytocenosis of the fescue, when optimizing the conditions for cultivation, provides an output from the irrigated hectare from 400 to 700 kg of conditioned seeds, 17.0-32.0 t / ha of green mass, 2.8-3.7 thousand fodder units, 390 kg of digestible protein and 50-65 GJ of exchange energy. After 5 years of growth, 13.0-17.0 tons of organic matter, 140-160 kg of nitrogen, 30-40 phosphorus and 180-200 kg / ha of potassium enter the soil.
