Abstract
The investigations were carried out at the experimental station of the IUNG in Grabów, Mazovia province, in the years 1998–2001. The results obtained showed that both lucerne variety and a date of the first cut had effects on the yields, a rate of dry matter increase, foliage development and persistence of plants. Cutting the spring growth at the vegetative stage caused the decrease in the whole-year yield of both dry matter and leaves. Moreover, it effected in reducing the shoots length and plants persistence. However, it resulted in the increase in proportion of leaves in the yield and shoot density in stand. The data obtained during the three-year period of production indicate that lucerne cvs Luzelle and Legend, compared to cv. Kometa, gave higher yields in the first harvesting and showed a higher rate of dry matter increase at the vegetative and budding stages. Moreover, they produced higher plants and were characterized by a smaller proportion of leaves and a somewhat lower stand density.
