β-caroten content was estimated in the leaves of Alopecurus pratensis, Festuca rubra, Festuca pratensis, Holcus lanatus, Poa pratensis, Carex hirta, Carex Hudsonii and Plantago lanceolata from two different meadows on which different nitrogen fertilization and uniform phosphorus and potassium fertilization were applied. Nitrogen fertilization was found to affect the accumulation of β-caroten in plants
