Abstract
The aim of the study was comparison of yielding and persistence of six Czech and one Polish grass varieties at different site and rates of nitrogen fertilization. The studies were carried out in pure stands in 1998–2000. The twin experiments were established in 1998 in two different sites: in Experimental Station at Jaktorów (Poland) and in Poprad-Matejovce (Slovakia). Seven varieties of four grass species were tested: three Czech Festulolium varieties: Bečva, Perun and Lofa, two Lolium multiflorum varieties: Polish Kroto and Czech Jiskra, the Mustang variety of Lolium perenne and the Lekora variety of Festuca arundinacea. Three doses of nitrogen fertilization 90, 150 and 210 kg/ha were applied. The Perun, Lofa, Mustang and Lekora varieties yielded better in Poprad-Matejovce than at Jaktorów. It is connected, first of all, with higher amount of rainfall in the vegetation periods and with its more favorable distribution; the differences due to the year of study varied between 10–30%. Irrespective of the locality, the highest yields for three years have given the Lekora variety of Festuca arundinacea and the Festulolium varieties Perun and Lofa. Site conditions in Poprad-Matejovce let to survive for more persistent species and varieties. Already after the first year of study the Lolium multiflorum varieties Kroto and Jiskra and the Festulolium variety Bečva disappeared. The nitrogen fertilization had a clear favorable effect on the yields of tested species and varieties but the differences between the yields on doses of 150 and 210 kg/ha were not significant.
