Abstract

Lucerne sown immediately or after different forage crop sequences was investigated as a pasture option for post forestry conversion. In this experiment superphosphate and lime were applied in March 2005 before final seedbed preparation and establishment of seven cropping sequences; 1) lucerne sown in April 2005; 2-5) greenfeed cereals (oats or triticale) sown in April 2005 followed by lucerne in October 2005 with or without a rape cover crop; 6-7) winter fallow followed by glyphosate presowing in October 2005 or March 2006. Keywords: Avena sativa L., Brassica napus L., forestry conversion, lucerne, Medicago sativa L., oats, rape, Trifolium repens L., triticale, white clover
