Vegetation management system for the conversion of degenerated grasslands to Alfalfa Pastures in Inner Mongolia,China
Converting degenerated Inner Mongolian grasslands to pastures by planting appropriate species of native plants is the most reliable method for improving their productivity.However, the extreme weather conditions of northern Inner Mongolia where the grass‐growing period is short and severe winter chilling occurs limit the number of species for planting in this region.Some selections of alfalfa ( Medicago spp.) are known to have adapted to these regions because of their cold hardiness and good productivity, but their early growth is very slow.Therefore, suppression of vegetation other than alfalfa, i.e., species regarded as weeds, is critical until the alfalfa plants are established.In order to select the best weed management program for the conversion of grasslands to alfalfa pastures, the effects of several weed control methods on weeds and alfalfa production were studied and compared.
