Abstract

The fodde plants that are dominantly grown on arable land in the Republic of Serbia are cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). The average area under alfalfa is grown, in period 2013-2024 is 64.392,5 ha, with an average yiel od 6 t ha-1. Red lover is grown on an average ara of 64.392.5 ha, with an average of 3.8 t ha-1. Apart from these two fodder crops, a significant place is also occupied by white clover (Trifolium repens L), Lotus corniculatus L, various annual forage legumes and grasses. Varieties that could meet the needs of the domestic market were created through the work of breeders. With the application of intensive agrotechnics and a rewarding method of utilization, high yields of hay of excellent nutritional value can be achieved. The domestic market is dependent on the import of fodder seeds, but with future investment we can expect a decrease in dependence and a strengthening of agricultural and livestock production in our country.
