Abstract

Sustainable development of the country's agriculture is impossible without the revival of efficient farm animal production, as one of the components of food security of the state. The leading place in the revival of farm animal production will belong to the branch of forage production in general, and meadow, in particular. The development strategy of this branch, like all agriculture, should be based on innovative, knowledge intensive technologies, on the principles of environmental protection, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable development of rural areas. The goal of research is to determine the optimal methods of sowing of perennial alfalfa-grass and clover- grass agrophytocoenosis under the conditions of Western forest steppe. The research has been done for 2015-2016 by the Ternopil Research Station of the Veterinary Medicine Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine on the collection research field of the NULES of Ukraine “Zalishchyky Agricultural College named after Ye. Khraplyvy”. The research found that under the conditions of the Western forest steppe, according to the results of two-year studies, the best way to sow legume-grass mixtures is the separate cross sowing, which provides the productivity of the dry matter of the clover-grass agrophytocenosis at the level of 7.40-7.71 t / ha, and alfalfa-grasses - 6.42-6.93 t / ha. Development of new varieties of perennial grasses and agricultural machinery cause the development of innovative technological techniques of varietal agrotechnics for the cultivation of perennial grasses.
