Seed spread deliberately into an Arrhenatherum elatius-stand was used to examine the impact of management measures on sward structure and the resulting establishment success. The tested factors comprised irrigation, cutting and harrowing, which were orthogonally combined in a split-plot design with 4 replications. Seeds of 6 wildflower and 2 grass species were spread over the sward and emergence and survival of seedlings were recorded. Seedling emergence varied between 3 % for Lychnis flos-cuculi and 18 % for Plantago lanceolata. Frequent cutting was the most important factor for a high seedling emergence. On average, twice as many seedlings emerged in cut swards than in uncut swards. Harrowing before spreading seeds enhanced seedling emergence of two species, regular irregation of one species. Survival of emerged seedlings in cut swards was higher than in uncut ones, irrigation and harrowing of the sward were of minor importance. It is concluded that for the diversification of productive grassland by oversowing, in the beginning, frequent cutting of the sward is necessary for successful seedling establishment."],["dc.identifier.gro","3148111"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5461"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","fcwi"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.publisher","EGF"],["dc.relation.conference","20th General Meeting of the European Grassland Federation"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Grassland Science in Europe"],["dc.relation.eventend","2004-06-24"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Luzern, Switzerland"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2004-06-21"],["dc.relation.isbn","3-7281-2940-2"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Land Use Systems in Grassland Dominated Regions"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Grassland Science in Europe; 9"],["dc.title","Establishment of experimentally introduced plant species in a hay meadow"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
