The objective of this work was to specify a growth and yield model in that volumetric yield is a function of the basal area per hectare and mean height of the eucalyptus plantations. Thus, data of permanent plots located in the state of Bahia-Brazil were used, with ages ranging from 28 to 89 months. After analysis, it was verified that the proposed model provided more precise volumetric estimates than the Clutter model (1963) for young plantations, independently of the productivity class. However, the proposed model provided less precise volumetric estimates in the technical cut age (ITC) for smaller and larger productivity classes.
