It was about different methods of mulching, tillage and sowing (of pure seed) of Artemisia vulgaris, Hypericum perforatum, Melilotus alba and Silene vulgaris. The succession fields and most of the culativated fields were dominated by Taraxacum officinale. All variants of management proved to be less suitable for short-time (up to three years) closures. Sowings of Hypericum perforatum or Melilotus alba con be used however. Sowing of Artemisia vulgaris or Silene vulgaris are suitable for a medium-term or long-term set-aside.
