Abstract. The article was described the importance of cultivation of crotalaria (Crotalaria juncea L.), a non-traditional leguminous crop grown in degraded meadow alluvial soil conditions of the northern region of the Republic of Khorezm, for fodder, as well as the influence of planting standards on the growth, development and yield of blue mass of crotalaria from the elements of cultivation technology. When crotalaria is planted and cared for in the optimal period (20-25.04) and at the standard (18 kg/h), a high yield of 60.04 t ha-1 of green mass or 17.39 t ha-1 is obtained per hectare, compared to other options by 0.4-0.84 t ha-1. It is scientifically proven that an additional hay crop is obtained.
