Summary. The article describes and analyzes the results of more than twenty years researches carried out at the Federal State Budgetary Institution “All-Russian Research Institute of Beef Cattle Breeding” (ARRIBCB) on study of the main technological methods of creating and restoring forage lands on low-yield arables of the Southern Ural arid and dry steppe including the Orenburg region. The developed basic elements of multivariate technologies for creating hayfields and pastures on such lands, and their restoring after long-continued cultivation and degradation ensure the economic use of low-yield arable land by its grassing and re-grassing with perennial legume-cereal grass mixtures and thereby increase efficiency of forage production.

Key words: low-yield arable, perennial grasses and grass mixtures, cover crops and intercrops, grassing and re-grassing, carrying capacity.
