In Colombia, the specialized dairy systems are supported in forages use. However, edaphic and weather features are related with production and compositional quality of grasses. In this sense, it is important to recognize resilient fodder species to pastoral systems. The objective was to evaluate the establishment (covert proportion (%, Cp) and adaptation grade (0 to 3 scale, Ag) and production (dry matter yield (kg DM.ha-1, Dm) and net energy lactation (Mcal.kg DM-1 , Nl) of five perennial ryegrasses (three diploid and two tetraploid) and three clovers (two reds and one white) in two regions of Colombian highlands (Tuta and Mosquera at 2600 m.a.s.l.)
