Summary: The Osijek Agricultural institute has a long tradition increating new alfalfa cultivars. As a result, 16 cultivars havebeen recognized so far. As stated in our project, the aim is tocreate new cultivars with higher crude protein yields/ha wichwill be grown for four to five years. In 1993, we have grownapproximately 17500 alfalfa plants from F1 generation and furthergenerations.

Keywords: alflfa, cultivar, crude protein, long duration

Research goals: The objective of the investigation is to create new alfalfagenotypes with a larger protein content and of a larger durationwhen intensively grovn and to achieve a better development ofseed under natural conditions. In further alfalfa breeding,creating new genotypes will ensure the creation of the alfalfavarieties with improved qualitative and quantitative traits. As aresult, the new alfalfa cultivars have been recognized.
