Increasing the productivity of pastures in the Guba district of Azerbaijan

The main objective of the work was to study the effectiveness of low-productive pastures. The assessment was carried out on the productivity and quality of pastures in the Guba district of Azerbaijan. During the research, trial sites were identified where fertilizers and plant sowing were used. improvement and we conducted scientific and experimental studies. A control area has been determined. In 2022, on the experimental plot of the control variant, during haymaking, an average of 30.0 cwt/ha of green mass or 7.5 cwt/ha of dry grass was obtained. When sowing grass seeds in the variant without fertilizers and in other variants, the yield per hectare differed. In the option of sowing grass seeds + N60P60K40, this figure averaged 101.6 cwt/ha of green mass or 24.4 cwt/ha of dry grass, or it was 33.7% more green mass and 32.5% more dry grass. As a result of the studies, it was established that in each of the tested variants the quality of the produced feed was higher than in the control variant. The option of sowing grass seeds + N60P60K40 is the most effective.
