This work is a part of REFORMA - ARIMNET Mediterranean project. The aim is to evaluate some alternative fodder systems witch could replace traditional wheat-fallow rotation. This strategy aims also to give more resilience to cereal/livestock rainfed systems strength to the climatic changes negative effects. Two grass species: triticale and oats, and three legumes species: Narbon vetch, common vetch and fodder pea (two cultivars) were tested. Results show that triticale and peas were earlier than oats and vetches in the different associations. Thus, the choice of a mowing date corresponding to the optimal stage in the case of associations was more or less difficult because of weak synchronization between flowering - heading stages. The productive performances (dry biomass) of all fodders tested were satisfactory; however, significant differences in favour of triticale and its associations were found. Balanced grasses - legumes ratio within associations were also satisfactory but especially in associations with oats.
