This study presents the results of some options to restore pastures with low productivity in the arid steppes of the Kostanay region of northern Kazakhstan, describing the effects associated with grass-legume mixtures. The effects of grass-legume mixtures, contribution to the preservation and maintenance of pasture forage crops, and the productivity of pastures were discussed. Mixtures of grasses and legumes were selected that are promising crops for arid regions.The plant density and its condition were determined based on test plots of adjacent rows of 0.5 m each, followed by counting. The plant height was determined before the yield of green mass by measuring 25 plants of each species. The yield of green mass in the maturity phase of the grass was determined by mowing and weighing the green mass in the plots, followed by the analysis of the species composition in the grass mixture and drying until air dry. The density of plants, the height of the plants, and the safety of the forage plants according to the sowing method were the data collected. In addition, the effect of grass mixtures on the productivity of forage crops to improve pastures was compared. According to these results, the highest productivity under experimental conditions was found in the wheat grassalfalfa-bromegrass variant. This information can contribute to the improvement of the state of the pastures since it is complete and inexpensive food for farm animals.

Este estudio presenta los resultados de algunas opciones para restaurar pastos con baja productividad en las tierras áridas de la región de Kostanay (norte de Kazajstán). Se discutieron los efectos de las mezclas de gramíneas y leguminosas, la contribución a la preservación y mantenimiento de los cultivos forrajeros de pastos y la productividad de los mismos. Se seleccionaron mezclas de gramíneas y leguminosas que son cultivos prometedores para las regiones áridas. El estado de la planta y su densidad se determinaron con base en parcelas de prueba de hileras adyacentes de 0.5 m cada una, seguidas de conteo. La altura de la planta se determinó antes del rendimiento de masa verde (masa fresca) midiendo 25 plantas de cada especie. El rendimiento de masa verde en la fase de madurez del pasto se determinó cortando y pesando la masa fresca en las parcelas, seguido del análisis de la composición de especies en la mezcla de pasto y secando las gavillas al aire. La densidad de plantas, la altura de las plantas y la inocuidad de las plantas forrajeras según el método de siembra fueron los datos recogidos. Además, se comparó el efecto de las mezclas de gramíneas sobre la productividad de cultivos forrajeros para mejorar los pastos. Según estos resultados, la mayor productividad en condiciones experimentales se encontró en la variante trigo-alfalfa-hierba bromo. Esta información puede contribuir al mejoramiento del estado de los pastos, ya que es alimento completo y económico para los animales de granja.
