Abstract

Grevillea robusta Cunn is not only utilized for coffee plantation shading, ornamentation and wind breaks. It is also used in apiculture and different wood utilities. The purpose of this study was to identify genetically superior individuals for wood volume production in order to select material for future seed orchards in the Londrina region of Northern Paraná State, Brazil. The genetic material tested was 37 second generation half-sib progenies from a provenance trial located on Presidente Castelo Branco county, also in the State of Paraná. The experiment was planted in EMBRAPA´s Maravilha farm with the following geographic coordinates: 23°23´30"S and 51°11´05"W. Progenies were evaluated in a experimental design in the form of eight replications and five plants per plot. Height, diameter and volume were statistically analysed in order to determine the effect of progenies on the wood production. The results led to the following conclusion: Considering the growth in volume and survival, the best progeny came from Duck Creek (NSW) Australia.
