ABSTRACT
This research had for objective to establish a functional hybridization method to intercross some species of Eucalyptus. The results showed the viability of inter and intraspecific hybrids synthesizing using a simplified methodology, more appropriate for the operational point of view. It was verified that for E. tereticornis the emasculation must be done without cutting the staminal ring, and the possibility of storing the whole flower, for up to 12 months, maintaining a satisfactory viability level, for the Eucalyptus species studied.
Key words:
