Assessing the influence of cereal-legume mixtures on the productivity of degraded pastures in the Kostanay region of northern Kazakhstan

This study presents the results of some options to restore pastures with low productivity in arid steppes Kostanay region northern Kazakhstan, describing effects associated grass-legume mixtures. The mixtures, contribution preservation and maintenance pasture forage crops, were discussed. Mixtures grasses legumes selected that are promising crops for regions.The plant density its condition determined based on test plots adjacent rows 0.5 m each, followed by counting. height was before yield green mass measuring 25 plants each species. maturity phase grass mowing weighing plots, analysis species composition mixture drying until air dry. plants, safety according sowing method data collected. In addition, effect mixtures improve compared. According these results, highest under experimental conditions found wheat grassalfalfa-bromegrass variant. information can contribute improvement state since it is complete inexpensive food farm animals.
