The aim of this work was to compare the structural characteristics of vegetative and reproductive tillers on Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pastures diferred for 73, 95 and 116 days. Randomized block design in a split plot scheme with three replications was used. The stockpiling period did not influence (P>0.10) the number of vegetative tillers (VT) but increased (P0.10) by the deferring period. The RT revealed (P<0.05) a higher pseudostem length, higher number of dead leaves (NDL) and lower NLL when compared to VT. RT showed (P<0.05) higher percentages of stem and dead leaf as well as a lower percentage of living leaf (P<0.05) than VT. VT showed a better morphological composition than RT. The deferring period alters the structural characteristics and worsens the morphological composition of tillers on deferred Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk pastures.KEYWORDS:
