Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake is the most widely planted tree species in Brazil. By analyzing how genotypes respond to environmental variations (reaction norms), we can model the genotype-by-environment (GxE) interaction. This allows us to predict productivity in untested environments and make more accurate cultivar recommendations. Using the environmental information approach and producing thematic maps is expected to increase the efficiency of breeding programs for this species.
