    Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is one of the most important and widespread leguminous forage species in temperate agriculture, which is characterized by a high yield of quality biomass. Actinomycetes produce antibiotics and vitamins that act favourably on physiological processes in plants. These microorganisms are present in the soil, however the application of selected microorganisms for seed inoculation leads to better results in crop production. The experiment was carried out in vegetation pots in semi-controlled conditions. This research consisted of investigating the effect of actinomycetes (Streptomyces sp.) application on the green mass per plants of 12 cultivars of red clover of different geographical origin: K-27, K-32, K-38, K-39, Una, Kolubara, Viglana, Manuela, Wilo, Repio, Diana and Longevo. The effect of inoculation was determined out at the onset of flowering. The results obtained showed that the application of microorganisms could affect plant mass yield. The highest value for green mass per plant was achieved in cv. K-39 using inoculum that contained Streptomyces sp. The application of actinomycetes had a positive effect in the most cultivars of red clover and there was a statistically significant difference between inoculated treatments and control, indicating the justification of the use of these microorganisms in plant production.
