Abstract
The utilization of marginal land, especially the acid soil, for cultivation of forages is promising. Forage as a source of feed for ruminants, can also be used to improve soil fertility. <em>Brachiaria</em> sp is found widely grow in marginal areas, especially on acid soil showing its high adaptability. The diverse of genotypes have become interesting because the mechanism of its adaption can be studied by observing the physiological response of Brachiaria on acid soil. <em>Brachiaria decumbens</em><em> </em>has high tolerant, while <em>Brachiaria ruziziensis</em> is sensitive to acid soil. Variance of physiological and morphological responses to acid soil are the foundation for determining the traits of selection in breeding activities of <em>Brachiaria</em> sp. This paper aims to provide the knowledge of physiological response of <em>Brachiaria </em>sp and this information is useful for selection of <em>Brachiaria</em> sp tolerant on acid soil.
