Resumo: Genetic gain followed by loss of diversity is not ideal in breeding programs for several species, and most studies face this problem for single traits. Thus, we propose a selection method based on Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize the gains for multi-traits that have a low reduction of status number (NS), which takes into account equal contributions from individuals as a result of practical issues in tree breeding. Real data were used to compare GA with a method based on a branch and bound algorithm (BB) for the single-trait problem. Simulated and real data were used to compare GA with a multi-trait method adapted from Mulamba and Mock (MM) (a genotypic ranking approach) through a range of selected individuals’ portions. The GA reached a similar gain and NS in a shorter processing time than BB. This shows the efficacy of GA in solving combinatorial NP-hard problems. In a selected portion of 1% and 2.5%, the GA had low reduction in the overall gain average and greater NS than the MM. In a selection of 20%, the GA reached the same NS as the base population and a greater gain than MM for the simulated data. The GA selected a lower number of individuals than expected at 10% and 20% selection, which contributed to a more practical breeding program that maintained the gains and without the loss of genetic diversity. Thus, GA proved to be a reliable optimization tool for multi-trait scenarios, and it can be effectively applied in tree breeding.
