The article presents the results of study concerning yield dependence of the 1st year clover green mass on main soil cultivation for cover crop. On the highly cultivated sod­podzolic sandy soil the 1st year meadow clover gives the greatest yield of green mass due to combine cultivation in rotation crop based on alternation of plowing and chisel cultivation. In the case of average cultivated sandy soil for cover crop no significant differences in green mass yield of the 1st year clover are found after changing plowing disking and chisel cultivation. Sowing of stubble barley leads to decrease of field germination of clover seeds and facilitate weediness what reduces green mass yield of legume as a result.
