The impacts of various cultivation methods and permanent grassland use on the changes in Taraxacum officinale Web. cover rate

Abstract

Between 1999 and 2002, the area at the foot of the Šumava Mountain Range was used to study the possibilities of harmonizing the productive and non-productive performance offered by permanent grassland. This paper presents the possibilities of Taraxacum officinale control within the permanent grassland covers (of the Lolio-Cynosuretum association). In an effort to reduce the cover rate of this species, it seems appropriate to reduce its use frequency. In the vegetation covers mowed three times a year the Taraxacum officinale reduction may be facilitated with the 100 N + PK dose application.
