Summary: Trees in the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (CLFI) systems represent an opportunity to increase income on the farm through the sale of wood. Sawn wood is the product with the highest value and highest rate of return for producers. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of production and yield of eucalyptus wood in CLFI system with growth projection for the age of 15 years, in the Brazilian Cerrado. In October 2011, 333 eucalyptus ha-1 trees were planted, arranged in simple rows at 15 x 2 m spacing, in an CLFI system. With the sampling of 40 trees, the growth was evaluated annually. After 97 months, the trees reached an average height of 27.8 meters, with an average diameter at breast height of 21.9 cm and an average volume of 153.6 m3 ha-1 of wood. Wood production was projected for 15 years age, in which 220.34 m3 ha-1 of wood would be produced, 50.64 m3 ha-1 of which could be used as sawmill wood. The producer can view attractive markets for the commercialization of his product and plan its sale, when estimating the potential of wooden pieces that may be benefited from its tree population at any given time.
