Abstract: Alfalfa [1] is one of the most largely distributed forage legume species in the world and it is used on more hectares than any other forage legume. Even so, alfalfa production in Brazil is still limited by the low persistence of this species, especially when used for grazing. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and select grazing-tolerant germplasm by evaluating genotypes based on their physiological traits. Eight alfalfa genotypes were grown in two different and simultaneous experiments.
