Abstract: 

The research was carried out at the Abu Jarash farm in the College of Agriculture – Damascus University – Syria, in 2017, with the aim of studying the effect of loading Trifolium repens L. on the productivity of grass-fed mixtures in landscaping cultivation, in the spring and autumn seasons. The study was conducted on two types of plant mixtures, the first: the grass mixture consisting of Festuca arundinacea L., Poa pratensis L., and Lolium perenne L., and the second: the proposed mixture, which is the first mixture loaded with white clover. The experimental plots were subjected to two levels of nitrogen fertilization: the first was the level of fertilization normally used on cultivated green areas /N/, and the second was the first fertilization level in which the added nitrogen was reduced to 50%. Thus, we have 4 treatments and each treatment has 3 replicates; Grass mixture with /N/ fertilizer, proposed mixture with /N/ fertilizer, grass mixture with /N-50%/ fertilizer, proposed mixture with /N-50 %/ fertilizer. The results we obtained showed that the proposed mixture /N / was superior to the rest of the mixtures by green and dry weight in the spring and autumn seasons in terms of yield and weight.

Key words: white clover, Green weight, Dry weight, Landscapes.
