The experiment was located within the ARDS Secuieni during the period 2023-2025. The aim of the research was to analyze the competition relationships between the species Phleum pratense L. and Trifolium pratense L. cultivated alone or in simple mixtures, under different fertilization conditions with complex mineral fertilizers. In the second year of vegetation, the RYT (Relative Yield Total) index was calculated, which recorded values >1 except for the unfertilized variant and sown with the mixture of Phleum pratense L. (25%) + Trifolium pratense L. (75%), showing that the species Phleum pratense L. and Trifolium pratense L. compete for the same vegetation factors. and the CR index (Competition Rate) for the species Phleum pratense L. was higher than for the species Trifolium pratense L., resulting in the grass species being more competitive.
