Slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis) is a non-native and invasive species of grassland. The aim of the study was to test the ability of the Slender speedwell growth in differently managed grasslands (mowing, mulching, grazing). After a two-year experiment, a statistically significant influence on the management application among growth of Slender speedwell was found (F = 14.462, p <0.001). The best survival was found in one-year mulched vegetation (dominant Deschampsia caespitosa) in the Zhůří plot and in hay and pasture crops in the V. Chuchelec plot (dominant Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne, Trisetum flavescens, Poa pratensis, Dactylis glomerata and Phleum pratense). Slender speedwell can be well applied in permanent grasslands higher, colder and wetter conditions with management as mowing, grazing or mulching.
