The aim of this paper was estimation of the state of plants of the ash dump Electrical Power Station "Siekierki” and a possibility of their improvement by changing pratotechnical cultivators intensity. Effect of fertilisation (160, 240, 360 kg/ha NKP) and mowing (2 and 4 cuts per year) on the soil cover and botanical components of three grasslands was studied. The most quickly improvement of turfness in hay-growing meadows community on the hilltop with frequent mowing was obtained. The improvement of turfness on the slopes, particularly in hay-growing meadows with the big part ruderal species community, was slower. The fertilisation decided about soil cover. The higher fertilisation and frequently mowing increased the percentage of low grasses in biomass.
