ABSTRACT

The studies were carried out in 2003–2006 in Didactic-Research Station in Sosnowica (East Poland) on peat-muck soil (Mt II). The meadow is located in a complex drained and reclaimed for agriculture in 1964–1966, situated in the middle reaches of the Piwonia river. Various meadow sward regeneration
technologies and four levels of nitrogen fertilisation were used in experiment. The meadow subjected to overseeding and overseeding preceded by rototilling as well as by mechanical tillage had the significantly highest total dry matter yield in the four-year study period (2003–2006) while the meadow subjected to chemical tillage had the significantly lowest yield. The significantly lowest
dry matter yield was obtained in the meadow not subjected to nitrogen fertilisation while the significantly highest for 180 and 120 kg ha^-1 dose of nitrogen. The plant species seeded in mixes had the highest yield in the meadow sward after the application of mechanical tillage and chemical tillage. The highest yields were recorded for the species Lolium perenne and Festulolium braunii, while the lowest for Trifolium pratense and Phleum pratense.

Key words: D.M. yield, overseeding, species, tillage.
