The objective of the study was to evaluate periods of sealing in Brachiaria brizantha cv. pastures. Xaraés and its implications on morphological, structural, Bromatological and production of pastures. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks, with four periods of deferment (30, 60, 90 and 120 days), each with three replications, totaling 12 experimental units. The number of live leaves (NFV), presented quadratic behavior (P0.05) with the increase of the deferral period. The height of the sward obtained increasing linear result (P0.05). The total dry matter adjusted to the increasing linear model (P0.05) for the NDF. The 60-day period of deferral is the most recommended for Brachiaria brizantha cv. Xaraés.
