Abstract
Alfalfa has a great need for water, because it creates a huge plant mass. For this reason,yield level, similar to the other species with large green mass, primarily depends onprovided water during the growing season. Alfalfa uses water well from the prevegetationreserve in land, especially of rainfall during the growing season. In thispaper, the need for water in alfalfa for average, the most rainy and dry hydrologicalyear in the conditions of Sarajevo area was established. Evapotranspiration of alfalfa is567 mm for the most dry, 569 mm for the most rainy and 540 mm for averagehydrological year. Water deficit occurs in May, June, July and August in the amount of323.9 mm for the most dry, 178.4 mm for the most rainy and 222.1 mm for averagehydrological year. In the study area, alluvial soil is predominant (fluvisol), which is ofa light mechanical composition (sandy loam) and favorable chemical characteristics foralfalfa growing.
