Abstract

The agrobiological characteristics of the formation of agrocenoses of annual sweetclover in single-species and mixed crops with Sudan grass and millet with different densities and sowing methods under irrigation in the steppe zone of the Southern Urals are examined. The maximum green mass yield and digestible protein content per feed unit are obtained in a single-species sweetclover crop with a sowing rate of 4 million germinable seeds per hectare and 3 million in a mixture with Sudan grass.
