ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of early selection for parents and trees for cloning in full-sib progeny testsof Eucalyptus spp. The 61 hybrid progenies were evaluated in the north, northwest and central state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in arandomized complete block design with three replications, in 2001. The trait circumference at breast height (CBH) was evaluated30 and 84 months after planting in five-plant rows. The selection efficiency was assessed by the fluctuation of genetic and phenotypicparameters, coincidence index, genetic correlation, phenotypic correlation, Spearman rank correlation, correlated response, gainper year and repeatability of phenotypic values at the plant level. All methodologies indicated that early selection is effective both inthe selection of parents and the selection of trees for cloning.
