abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of six types of soil fertility management: no fertiliser
(NF), lime inputs (Ca), mineral fertilisation combined with hming (CaP (lime and phosphorous), CaPB
(lime, phosphorous and boron), manure (M), and manure+lime+mineral fertilisation (MCaPB), and two
types of pasture (unsown and sown) on DM yield, botanical composition and nutrients content of pasture
during two years of study. DM yield was significantly increased when plots were fertilised with manure
(M and MCaPB), which also improved the proportion of legumes, mainly in the sown pasture.
