Given that Serbia (without Kosovo) has large areas under grassland, the aim of this study was
to analyze the variation and trend of the areas, total production and yields over 71 years
(1948-2018) and prognosis of yield in the next 30 years. The results indicated that the area of
grasslands in Serbia declined over the last decade. Most grasslands in hilly-mountain region
were degraded and without application of agrotechnical - remedial measures so that large
areas were lost. In Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, areas of grasslands have been
declining because have been converted into arable land. Total production of meadows
increased while total production of pastures decreased during the observed period. The
grasslands areas in Serbia showed low yields. In the Vojvodina region, meadows showed
decrease in forage productivity, while pastures showed increase in forage productivity. Areas
under meadows and pastures should be recultivated and brought into production in
accordance... with the needs of livestock development. This will result in higher quantity and
higher quality production of green mass and hay. Unfortunately, depopulation and underrepresentation
of animals per unit area represented a limiting factor for grassland exploitation.
On the other hand, in the future yield growth rates of grasslands in Serbia and Central Serbia
and pastures in Vojvodina will very low increase. Contrary, yields growth rates of meadows
in Vojvodina will decrease by 2050.
