An overview of growing conditions of annual and perennial fodder crops and forage conservation in different zones of Siberia during 1986-2005 is given. Recommended planting systems for main annual and perennial crops and grass mixtures as well as their characteristics are summarised in 5 tables. New stable and highly productive multispecies cropping systems were developed, with a focus on Siberian cultivars.
