Abstract: Covering the ground with grass offers benefits that go beyond aesthetics. From an environmental point of view, grasses play a fundamental role in preventing erosion, helping to conserve soil. This study aimed to verify the initial development of genotypes of Paspalum Notatum (PNO1, PNO2, PNO3, PNO5 and PNO7) Axonopus parodii cv. Curica, Zoysia japonica (ZJ, EsmeraldaTM) and Urochloa plantaginea (UPL, Papuã grass) for use in ornamental lawns. The seedlings were grown in 100 mm PVC pipes at heights of 20, 30 and 40 cm, evaluated at 30, 45 and 60 days after planting (DAP), respectively. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Recife-PE, irrigated every 24 hours. The variables analyzed were related to the development of the aerial part and root of the genotypes. PNO2 obtained the highest height and UPL and ZJA the lowest heights in all evaluations up to 60 DAP. PNO2, PNO3, PNO5 and PNO7 were highlighted for the lateral length of the shoot and root length, obtaining significant averages at all evaluation times. At 60 DAP all Paspalum genotypes obtained similar means for all variables.
