Even with the advance in seedling production techniques, many problems still remain to be solved, mainly in what refers to the expedition of seedlings from the vegetation house. This work aimed to verify the space variation of Eucalyptus grandis seedlings along time, to establish forms of expediting the seedlings from the vegetation house at the forest nursery of Santa Maria Federal University, RS. Thus, an experiment was set up consisting of four evaluations at 15 day intervals, with each repetition being divided into plots to determine the best form of expediting the seedlings from the vegetation house. A greater homogeneity was verified among the plots at 100 days after emergence (DAE), with the tray contents being divided into Border X Center, Front X Center X Bottom and quadrants and at115 DAE for the Right X Center X Left simulation, with the central plot presenting the best results. A significant variability was verified among the plots within the tray, and along time for the different plot simulations. At 100 DAE, homogeneity was obtained in all the variables for the simulated plots, such as Front X Center X Bottom, with the central plot being released at 100 DAE, while the others only at115 DAE.
