The article deals with the insufficiently studied problem of variegated alfalfa and eastern galega presowing seed treatment, which can serve as an excellent reserve for increasing their forage productivity. The quality of the seeds determines the stand density of perennial grasses and their yield. The studies have been performed on sod-podzolic medium loamy soil. The authors studied the effect of molybdenum-acid ammonium (300 gm/t), Rhizotorphine bacterial preparation (for variegated alfalfa – 0.5 l/t, for eastern galega – 1.0 l/t), HB-101 plant growth regulator (1 ml/t), and Agree's Forsage complex fertilizer (1.2 l/t) upon cultivating the studied crops. The consumption rate of the working solution (water + preparation) was 10 litres per ton of seeds. The accounting plot area was 33 m2. Perennial legumes were sown after spring rapeseed; the seeding rate for variegated alfalfa was 14 kg/ha, for eastern galega – 26 kg/ha. It has been found that introducing seed treatment with the Agree's Forsage complex fertilizer increases productivity by 23–47% due to increasing the field germination of variegated alfalfa by 10–15% and eastern galega by 4–10%, and due to increasing the number of nodule bacteria by 6–13 per plant and 8–16 per plant respectively.
