| Twenty and twenty three seed provenances of Grevillea robusta Cunn were imported from Australia, in 1993 and 1994 respectively, by Embrapa Florestas. This genetic germoplasm was utilized for starting a breeding program in the State of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul. Total surface occupied by Grevillea experiments managed by Embrapa Florestas reachs 27,13 ha, being provenance tests, embracing 11,22 ha, installed in 1994, and progenies tests, comprising 15,91 ha, planted in 1994. In the Presidente Castelo Branco District it was introduced a provenance/progenie test with 104 progenies and 20 provenances. In 2001, it was selected the best genotypes and the experiment was transformed in a Seed Orchard. In 2002, 37 genotypes were selected at the same... |
