Summary: Forage peanut (Arachis pintoi and Arachis repens) is cultivated in regions of the humid tropics, subject to four months of drought, when forage yield decreases. Field studies have shown that there is genetic variability for drought tolerance in forage peanut. However, morphophysiological responses of different genotypes are poorly understood under water deficit conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the root system of different genotypes of forage peanut under two levels of water availability.
