The atmospheric CO2 concentration, the main gas responsible for intensifying the greenhouse effect, has increased significantly in recent decades. Alfalfa is important forage that can have its characteristics altered by increased atmospheric CO2 concentration, facilitating the occurrence of diseases and enhancing the emission of greenhouse gases after its ingestion by animals. Given this scenario, the objective of this study was to assess the impact of increased CO2 concentration in the air on alfalfa diseases, plant growth and chemical composition. Assays were performed in the field with direct seeding of alfalfa seed cultivar Creole in open top chambers (OTC), adopting the trial randomized block design with three replications. The treatments were: control without OTC, with the concentration of 390 μmol mol-1 of CO2; OTC without CO2 injection with 400 μmol mol-1 of CO2; and OTC injected CO2 with target concentration of 500 μmol mol-1. In the shoots, analyzes were performed to determine dry matter, ash, organic matter, nitrogen in neutral detergent fiber (NDF-N), nitrogen in acid detergent fiber (ADF-N), crude protein and lignin and foliar analysis. In addition to these measures of plant height, stem length and root weight of biomass of the root and shoot and inflorescence. One disease was evaluated during the second trials: rust, caused by Uromyces striatus and one were evaluated during the two last trials: the wilt of fusarium caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. medicaginis. The diseases severity was assessed weekly by notes during 28 days. The defoliation caused by rust was evaluated by the percentage of leaves. Height of stems, the relationship between the length of stem and root, biomass of roots and shoots were higher in the treatment with CO2 injection. Dry matter, ash, organic matter, n- NDF, ADF-n, crude protein and lignin showed no statistical difference between the treatments. The rust ...
