The research was conducted at the Abu Jarash farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at Damascus University during 2017-2018 in order to study the effect of loading the white clover Trifolium repens L. on the grass mixtures used in the cultivation of green areas, in terms of the quantity and fodder value of mowing residues in the spring and autumn, and its effect on Some chemical properties of agricultural soil. The study was conducted on two types of plant mixtures, the first: the grassy mixture consisting of festoca bronchial L. Festuca arundinacea, Poa pratensis L. and Lolium perenne L. and the second: the proposed mixture, which is the first mixture with white clover on it. Trifolium repens L. The experimental plots were subjected to two levels of nitrogen fertilization. P = 0.70 kg, K = 1 kg. Chemical analyzes were carried out in the laboratories of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at Damascus University, while analyzes for the determination of the feed value (chemical composition) were carried out in the laboratories of the Arab Center for Studies of Dry Areas and Arid Lands (ACSAD). The results showed the superiority of the proposed mixture /N/ over the rest of the mixtures in terms of productivity in green and dry weight in the spring and autumn seasons. In the spring season, the average green weight was (0.283) g/m2, and the average dry weight was (0.083) g/m2, and in the fall season The average green weight was (0.274) g/m2, and the average dry weight was (0.109) g/m2. When comparing the two seasons in terms of the productivity of the mixtures, the autumn season was significantly different than the spring season. /N/ the average dry weight was (0.109) g/m2, and in the grass mixture /N-50/ the average green weight was (0.186) g/m2, and the average dry weight was (0.083) g/m2, and in the proposed mixture /N-50 The average dry weight was (0.105) g/m2. As for the average green weight in the proposed mixture /N/, it was superior to the spring season and reached (0.283) g/m2. As for the green weight in the proposed mixture /N-50/, no significant differences were observed in it, as the average in autumn was (0.259) g/m2 while it was in spring (0.266) g/m2. As for the feed value, the proposed mixture /N/ outperformed with significant differences over the rest of the mixtures in the proportion of dry matter and ash, and the highest percentage of them respectively reached (97.28, 27.65%) in the proposed mixture /N/ in the spring. The proposed mixture /N/ in the fall season outperformed with significant differences over the rest of the mixtures in the percentage of organic matter, protein, crude fat and nitrogen, where the highestpercentage of each of them reached (82.53, 22.63, 2.450, 3.571%). The Grass mixture /N-50/ had significant differences over the plants of the two proposed mixtures /N/ and the proposed /N-50/ in the percentage of soluble sugars other than fiber, while no significant differences were recorded between them and the Grass mixture /N/, and the highest percentage was (23.20 The percentage of crude fibers (cellulose - hemicellulose - lignin) decreased in the presence of clover in the mixtures. The grassy mixture /N-50/ outperformed the rest of the mixtures. The highest percentage of cellulose (20.46%) in the spring, and the highest percentage of hemicellulose ( 18.20%) in the fall season, and the highest percentage of Ghanain (3.771%) in the fall. As for the soil, the soil of the grass mixture /N/ was significantly different than the soil of the grass mixture /N-50/ for all the studied elements. In terms of nitrogen, the average was (0.70%), in phosphorous (10.83) mg/kg, and in potassium (101.15 ) mg/kg, pH (9.27), electrical conductivity (48.9) ds/m, and organic matter (17.80%). The proposed mixture soil /N/ was superior to the proposed mixture soil /N-50/ with significant differences for For nitrogen, it averaged (11.20%), in phosphorous (10.83) mg/kg, in potassium (85.357) mg/kg, in electrical conductivity (48.8) ds/m, and in organic matter (17.50%). No significant differences were observed between the averages of the two soil mixtures.The proposed mixture soil /N/ outperformed the grassy mixture soil /N/ with significant differences in relation to nitrogen, where the average was (11.20%), in the degree of PH (9.25), and in the electrical conductivity (48.1) ds. /m, and in organic matter (17.50%) As for the elements phosphorous and potassium, the soil of the grass mixture /N/ outperformed the soil of the proposed mixture /N/ with significant differences, and the average in phosphorus was (10.83) mg/kg. And in potassium (91.67) mg / kg.
