Abstract

Grasslands are the basis for livestock production. Grassland fertilization is an agro-technical procedure carried out with the aim of producing high-yield and high quality forage for animal nutrition. Each farm produces manure as a result of keeping animals, and the grassland is an ideal place to apply and thus dispose of the manure produced. The aim of this paper was to present: (i) basic aspects of lawn fertilizer application with emphasis on farm yard manure (FYM), (ii) recommended quantity, application time and frequency of FYM application on grassland, (iii) impact of FYM application on grassland yield and forage feeding value (v) some of the negative consequences of FYM application on grasslands. Due to the high variability in chemical composition of FYM and the influence of microclimate, soil and water on the uptake of nutrients by plants, it is necessary to conduct own research in certain microclimatic locations to determine the optimal amount, frequency and time of application on forage yield and nutritive value. FYM has a high potential in grassland fertilization. Its disposal on lawns leads to the recycling of nutrients and the increase of organic matter in the soil, the increase of water and air capacity of the soil and the promotion of the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. FYM is recommended for application in all systems of agricultural production, especially in organic farming.
