Th e comparative study of basic and intermediate fodder crops is carried out on drained sod-podzolic gleyey sandy loam soil. Th e highest productivity of green mass among the basic cultures was provided by fi rst hay cut of red clover and winter rye. Among the mowing crops the highest yields were obtained by second hay cut of red clover, as well as rape, vetch and oats mixture, and mix of mustard with vetch and oats, sown after winter rye for green forage.

Keywords: red clover, winter rye, vetch-and-oats mixture, ryegrass, white mustard, spring rape, green mass, dry matter

The article presents the results of research into the impact of inoculation with Rhizobium meliloti on the morphological features of alfalfa cultivars’ selections Nadejda, Khersonskaya 9, Seraphima, and Zoriana. Th e seeds were collected from the spring and late summer herbage crops. Th e effect of inoculation on the main features of alfalfa (above-ground mass, root diameter, volume and mass) was studied.

Keywords: alfalfa, selection, variety, nitrogen fixation, diameter and volume of root, aboveground mass yield.

Mineral fertilization is a powerful and fast way to increase productivity of floodplain grasslands, particularly the improved ones. Fertilized grasslands perennials till better, their winter hardiness increases, their regrowth in spring, after grazing or haying is also improved. The content of valuable meadow plants in herbages increases while coarse grasses and poisonous and harmful herbs are supplanted.

Keywords: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, yield, forage quality.

Forages produced from grain with 35–45 % moisture content have low animal digestibility. Application of finishing grain crushing device on forage combine harvester destroys grain cover, therefore the forage is better digested by animals.

Keywords: grain haylage, forage combine harvester, grain crushing device.
