Botanic composition of legume cereal herbage used at first as a pasture (6 times) and than as a hay regime (3-4 hays) was studied. Herbage with clover creeping was less resistant to changes in use regime, alfalfa had better reaction. Proportion of motley grass in herbage depended on mineral fertilizers and was lower in 0.9-1.2 times if fertilizers were introduced annually.
