15

УДК: 633.2./3:632.954

Allelopathic activity of Taraxacum officinále against perennial grasses is shown. The phytocenotic and chemical methods of controlling this weed are studied. It is found that alfalfa-grass mixture effectively restrains the development of Taraxacum officinále in agrophytocenoses. To suppress the weed in perennial grasses we recommend application of 0.6–0.8 l ha-1 Agritox herbicide.

Keywords: Taraxácum officinále, perennial grasses, allelopathy, nutrients uptake, phytocenotic method of weed control, herbicides.

Esedullaev S. T. Comparative effi ciency of mineral fertilizers’ application methods under cabbage crops in the Upper Volga

18

УДК: 631.816.2: 582.683.2

The article presents the results of a comparative study of various application methods for calculated rates of mineral fertilizers under such cabbage crops as spring rape, oil radish and white mustard in the Upper Volga region. It is shown that cabbage crops react differently to the improvement of mineral nutrition.

Keywords: cabbage crops, application methods and rates of mineral fertilizers, seed productivity, economic return of mineral fertilization.

Kulakov V. A., Sedova E. G. Eff ect of long-term fertilization on pasture yields and soil agrochemical parameters

20

УДК: 631.81:631:559

The effect of long-term use of mineral and organic fertilizers on the yield of pasture was studied along with the main agrochemical parameters and energy capacity of sodpodzolic soils. It was found that feed yield, herbal uptake of nitrogen and mineral elements, humus content, total exchangeable bases, soil acidity and other agrochemical parameters are largely determined by the level of mineral and organic fertilizers.

Keywords: pastures, mineral and organic fertilizers, soil agrochemical parameters, acidity, soil energy potential, gramineous agrophytocenoses.
