The fundamental possibility of cultivating perennial bean grasses on drained peat soils with crop sowing is considered. Favorable preconditions have developed in
Belarus (climate change, improving the agrochemical properties of soils, expanding the species and varietal composition of perennial leguminous grasses) for carrying out seedless grass sowing after harvesting grain crops. The results of observations of the growth and development of perennial leguminous plants during crop-sowing, their state after wintering, and yield in the first year of use are described. The risks of violation of their grass development, the causes and factors that determine them are identified.
