The goal of this study is to evaluate the possibilities to use the municipal sluge as a fertilizer in agriculture, especially upon alfalfa crop, with a very complex and precise methodology, in the conditions of assuring environment protection and human health integrity. Neutralizing city mud with the help of soil, considered a biological treatment station for water is one of the most important perspectives to protect the environment together with an increase of agricol production. In the new socio economical structures of Romania, the natural fertilizer is to be found less and less due to the decrease of the animal number, and also due to the way of their breeding, and the replacement of natural fertilizer with mud from the used water treatment, it is an alternative to use due to the sure advantages of the fertilized mud appliance. The effect of fertilization with municipal sluge upon the crop of alfalfa was studied within an experiment with eight variants in which there were applied different doses of city mud and natural fertilizer. Due to the appliance of municipal sluge it can be seen an increase of the content of dry matter compared to the control variant (with no fertilizers).
