Summary: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a resistência do fungo Ceratocystis cacaofunesta, que causa a murcha de ceratocystis, doença letal do cacaueiro. Em março de 2005, na Estação Experimental Joaquim Bahiana do Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau (Cepec), situada no município de Itajuípe, Bahia, Brasil foi instalado no campo um experimento com progênies de 27 cruzamentos dispostos em blocos ao acaso no espaçamento de 3x3 metros com parcelas de 30 plantas e 4 repetições, totalizando 120 plantas/cruzamento. As plantas das progênies dos 27 cruzamentos foram avaliadas em relação à doença, e, em outubro de 2012, os dados da incidência de plantas mortas foram submetidos à análise de variância e da herdabilidade. As médias de incidência da doença variaram de 0,83 a 51,66%, enquanto que a média geral do experimento foi 16,19% de plantas mortas. As progênies mostraram diferenças significativas de resistência e incidência à murcha de ceratocystis. A seleção natural realizada nas condições deste experimento para resistência a Ceratocystis cacaofunesta foi eficiente, considerando a alta herdabilidade (h2 =0,92) e o valor da relação CVg/CVe = 1,71. Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance to the fungus Ceratocystis cacaofunesta, causing Ceratocystis wilt, a lethal disease of cacao. In March 2005, in the Joaquim Bahiana Experimental Station (ESJOB) of the Cocoa Research Center (Cepec) located in the municipality of Itajuípe, Bahia, Brazil was an experiment installed in the field with progenies of 27 crosses arranged in randomized blocks with spacing of 3x3 meters with plots of 30plants and four repetitions, with a total of 120 plants /crosses. The plants of progenies from 27 crosses were evaluated in relation to disease, and, in October 2012, data of the incidence of dead plants were subjected to analysis of variance and heritability. The mean disease incidence ranged from 0.83 to 51.66%, while the overall mean was 16.19% of dead plants. Progenies showed significant differences in incidence and resistance to Ceratocystis wilt. Natural selection performed in this experiment for resistance to Ceratocystis cacaofunesta was efficient considering the high heritability (h2 = 0.92) and the value of the relationship CVg / CVe = 1.71.
