Ecologization of Ash Dumps Using Perennial Grasses

The possibility of ash dump reclamation using perennial grasses (Festuca pratensis (Meadow Fescue), Bromus inermis (Awnless Brome) and Medicago polymorpha (Medicago varia)) both in monocropping and in grass mixtures was considered. The greatest increase in green mass was noted in Medicago polymorpha, and among cereal crops – in Bromus inermis. It was established that the Medicago polymorpha plant and the Bromus inermis + Medicago polymorpha grass mixture are effective for the ecologization of the ash dump in areas with the introduction of mineral background fertilizer.
