La prairie permanente est un couvert végétal herbacé installé depuis de nombreuses années. Elle est caractérisée par une grande richesse d'espèces végétales spontanées en équilibre écologique sous l'effet conjoint du milieu des pratiques agricoles. Ces dernières sont indispensables pour sa pérennité (fertilisation, pâturage et fauche). Elle se singularise des prairies semées par l'absence de travail du sol [...] 3, record 1, French, - prairie%20permanente

Une multiplication de semences ne peut être implantée sur une parcelle ayant déjà porté la même espèce la campagne précédente à l'exception du riz irrigué. En effet, il est toujours difficile, voir impossible d'appliquer une rotation dans ces zones puisque les surfaces utilisables sont souvent très limitées. Dans ce cas, on peut implanter dans la même parcelle la même variété d'année en année, après une pré-irrigation et un labour pour éliminer les repousses. La parcelle de production de semences doit être exempte de mauvaises herbes. 3, record 3, French, - champ%20de%20production%20de%20semences

While having good fertility levels for a forage crop in the fall is critical for optimum production, fall fertilization is only one part of the management system to achieve this. Optimum soil test levels should be established prior to seeding and a maintenance fertilization program based on regular soil testing are the foundation of good nutrient management of forages. 2, record 4, English, - maintenance%20fertilization
