Research results show, that liming of soils and applied mineral doses, changed not only productivity of a grass but also botanical composition and quality of a grass sward. Mineral fertilizer N300P150K225 provided the highest yield of dry matter - 10,9-15,3 t haE-1 and optimal botanical composition of a sward. Fertilizer N0P100K150 provided only 4.9 t haE-1 dry matter yield but increased white clover content in a sward up to 46 per cent. On acid soils (pH 3.5), dry matter yield was 7.5 t haE-1 and there was observed disappearance of sown valuable grasses out of the sward and increase of weed plants - Agrostis vulgaris With, Rumex acetosa L., Deschampsia caespitosa P.B. a. o. Liming of soils increased dry matter yield in treatments with high doses of N (300-400) fertilizer. Without potassium fertilizer Agrostis vulgaris With was the prevalent plant in a perennial grass sward.
