This research aimed to generate genetic variability in Janeiro grass by applying gamma radiation. The mean lethal dose (LD50) and radiation level that generated morphological variability in Eriochloa polystachya were estimated. A probabilistic linear regression analysis was performed for the determination of the mean lethal dose (LD50). The results estimated a LD50 of 52.60 Gy for this genotype, obtaining a R2 of 57.73. Unirradiated plants and plants obtained by different levels of irradiation were morphologically characterized, adapting characterizers used in similar studies (18 quantitative and 10 qualitative descriptors). The characterization of plants derived from irradiated stolons showed morphological variability at doses of 75 and 100 Gy. Among the induced morphological changes stand out favorable mutations such as longer branch length, stem diameter and leaf length, characteristics that directly influence the production of higher forage biomass. In multiple correlation analyses between quantitative and qualitative variables, 14 positive correlations greater than 0.5 and eight greater than 0.8 were detected; however, at 52 Gy, nine individuals stand out, selected as mutant candidate plants, observed among the irradiated population. Variables with statistical significance were stem diameter and number of tillers with values of 0.34 mm (p<0.05) and 12.5 (p<0.05) on average, respectively. The variables yield (g/plant), raw protein content (%) and digestibility (%) in M1 V3 plants treated with the mean lethal dose (DL50) of 52 Gy, a variance analysis and 95% probability Tukey test were performed. The results showed that the cut-off date factor exhibited high statistical significance (p<0.001). For yield (g/plant), values ranging from 367.63 to 3540.30 g/plant were obtained. Mutants with higher raw protein content (%) and digestibility (%) were identified, highly significant at 35 days of cutting age of the Janeiro grass, irradiated at the dose of 52 Gy (DL50), which influences a shorter harvest time and quality of forage for livestock.
