The paper presents the plant density effect on the forage yield and quality and seed yield of red clover cultivars over 2002-2004. Four red clover cultivars (K-17, Kolubara, K-32, Viola) grown at inter-row spacings of 20 cm (18 kg/ha seed), 50 cm (9 kg/ha) and 80 cm (4.5 kg/ha) were examined. The forage yield and quality were analysed in the second year and in the third year (the first growth). The red clover cultivars, based on the study results, exhibited significant differences in biomass yield, and the highest yield was produced with the K-32 and K-17 cultivars in the second and third years, respectively. The significantly highest forage yield was achieved at the first plant density. The red clover cultivars exhibited significant differences in seed yield, with the highest yield having been produced with the K-17 cultivar. Furthermore, significantly higher seed yields in the second and third years were attained at inter-row spacings of 20 cm and 50 cm.
