The article presents the results of field research for the formation of red fescue seed productivity taking into account sowing time (factor A), methods of sowing (factor B), herbicide use (factor C). The research established the optimum time of sowing (spring and early summer), methods of sowing (wide sowing and half sowing), the most effective herbicides for weed control on seed crops which allow to get competitive products of high quality with seed yield of 4.0­4.5 t / ha
