Lolium multiflorum presents a number of qualities that can successfully integrate into the structure of fodder crops in a modern animal husbandry. Starting from these considerations, in this paper we aimed at addressing a number of issues that determine the production of dry matter and intake of scythe I and II to achieve it. The experience has been located in Timisoara, for three consecutive years (2006-2008), on an agrofund on the N50 P50 K50 (at the starting of the culture) and N50 after first scythe. As biological material we used a Wesley variety of Lolium multiflorum var. Westervoldicum. The year’s influence was decisive on the culture of Lolium multiflorum, so the scythe production was very high (4,5-5,1 t / ha) and of good quality. Because of drought in June-July with scythe II very low yields have been obtained (0,6-1,05 t / he SU). As such, on the specific conditions of culture in Timisoara we recommend only scythe I for Lollium multiflorum, after following a successive crop.
