Summary: The climate in Republic of Croatia is very diverse, from Mediterranean to continental, so is the relief. Undoubtedly, it greatly influenced the development of different species of grass and clover. By collecting wild species of grasses and clovers, genetic basis used in breeding process has been broadened. Development of new varieties provides solution for intensive production of fodder crops both in hilly terrain and in lowlands. Department of fodder crops cooperates with 80 countries worldwide and possesses a gene bank with over 400 entries.

Keywords: develop, new variety, grasses, clovers, application

Research goals: The main goal of the investigation is to supply our agricultural producers with scientifically founded results that will ensure high and quality fodder production - a basis for advanced and profitable livestock production. In order to accomplish this goal, intensive work is being conducted on developing domestic varieties of grass and clover species adapted to local ecological conditions. They should harmonize well in clover and grass mixtures, have good regrowth and should give high and stable yields of quality fodder. In addition, varieties intended for pastures, meadows and clover and grass mixtures should be sparated, i.e. for specific purposes and time of growing.
