The research in question was executed in an area dedicated to the stablishment of eucalipt forest population in the University of Brasilia's Agua Limpa Farm, with the aim of evaluating the production costs and time in the stages of seedling production, soil preparation, plantation and cultural treatments. All production costs of the various stages were analysed. Time was measured with the use of the individual time method. According to the results, the average cost for the establishment of one hectare of eucalypt was R$ 703,02. The highest costs were obtained in the acquisition of trays and tubes (28,3%), ant extermination (16,7%), soil preparation (14,0%) and labor (11,0%). The highest consuming time was verified during weeding (27,0%), plantation (22,0%), cultivation at nursery (19,0%) and fertilization (13,0%).
