Alfalfa is one of the most important perennial forage plants. High forage yield, share and quality of protein, longevity, yield of seed and other agronomically important traits make alfalfa irreplaceable in production of high quality voluminous livestock feed. Major agronomical traits (yield of green forage and content of dry matter) of seven genetically divergent genotypes - three cultivars - of alfalfa were investigated on the experimental field of the Institute for Animal Husbandry, Belgrade - Zemun, Serbia, during the period of 2002-2004 and compared to alfalfa cultivar NS-Medijana used as standard. Components of yield of alfalfa are in significant genetic correlation with yield of dry matter. Analysis of components of yield and content of dry matter showed no significant genetic variability between investigated cultivars. Obtained results show that none of the investigated cultivars demonstrated statistically significant differences in regard to investigated parameters and realised yield of green mass and dry matter were at the level of standard.
