One of the most efficient ways of forage crops intensive wilting in the field for the production of hay or silage is intensive mechanical treatment of grass. With this end in view equipment for grass maceration and pressing in a thin mat was produced and tested. During the experiment grass mats were dried on special stands in the field and the laboratory where their drying dynamics was estimated. Experimental evidence suggests that weather conditions such as temperature, relative air humidity, solar radiation, wind velocity, mat thickness and stubble height had the most effect on mat drying. The effect of these factors on mat drying was investigated and presented in the present work. Experimental findings revealed that after one day of drying the mats can be used for silage, and after two days for hay making.
