In field experiments, the effects of four lucerne varieties on forage quality were studied. The stands of studied varieties were from undersowings in a very early (CE 185), mid-late (TO-MV 335), and late (TO-MV 460) hybrids of maize for silage. As the control variants the stands sown without cover crop were used. All the stands were harvested at the same time during bud formation. The following parameters of forage quality were evaluated: crude protein, fibre contents, dry matter digestibility in vitro, and P, K, Ca contents. Ca content had the greatest dispersion and dry matter digestibility the smallest one. The weather conditions of experimental years affected fibre content, dry matter digestibility, and K and Ca contents, but they did not affect the crude protein and P contents.
