Chloris gayana grass is a perennial tropical that highly adaptable and resistant to climate change. As cover crop, this can improve soil conditions. This has high palatability potential be improved through breeding enhance the quality productivity of ruminants’ feed. research was conducted determine effect gamma ray radiation on morphology, genetic variation C. cv. Callide. used 4 doses 0, 75, 150 225 Gy, which were given cv Callide plant seeds via Gamma 60Co irradiator chamber. A dose Gy proven increase development culm diameter (p < 0.05). The best shown by 75 increased production fresh, dry, organic matter. results analysis using Random Amplified Polymorphic Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD PCR) showed polymorphism resulting from Organophosphate Degradation (OPD) 8 primer 66.67%, OPD 11 62.50%. Overall, with been productivity.
