Abstract
The article presents the results of studies on the growth and development of festulolium in singlespecies and binary crops with perennial legumes (alfalfa, clover, sainfoin) in the forest-steppe conditions of Western Siberia. Festulolium, as a hybrid crop combining the resistance of fescue and the productivity of ryegrass, has demonstrated high adaptability to the harsh climatic conditions of the region. It has been established that festulolium has high winter hardiness (85–88 %) and resistance to adverse winter conditions. The duration of the vegetation period of festulolium varies from 85 to 100 days, with a tendency to lengthen the interphase periods with the age of the grass stand. In crops with legumes, an increase in winter hardiness and plant survival is observed. The dry mass yield of festulolium without fertilizers is 8.11 t/ha. Fertilizers provide a 16.8 % increase in yield. Joint sowing of the crop with sainfoin and alfalfa increases yield by 42.8–63.4 %. The obtained data indicate the prospects of using festulolium in forage production to create a sustainable forage base in the region.
