M. L. de  aGenetic divergence among Brachiara humidicola (Rendle) Schweick hybrids evaluated in the Western Brazilian Amazon.h[electronic resource]  c2014  aThe objectives of this study were to detect genetic variability among genotypes of Brachiara humidicola, study the genetic diversity and identify redundant variables in the discrimination of hybrids. Fifteen genotypes were evaluated for morphological, agronomic and nutritive characteristics in a randomized block design with six replications, in Rio Branco, Acre. Analysis of variance was performed, followed by the Scott-Knott test. Different techniques of multivariate analysis were used to study genetic diversity. Significant differences in plant performance were observed for agronomic and morphological characteristics, but not for nutritive value. There was consistency between the different clustering techniques. Four redundant characteristics were identified hat can be discarded. The existence of divergent and superior hybrids that can be used in recurrent selection (sexual) programs or can be released as new (apomictic) cultivars after testing for animal response was confirmed. The lack of genetic variability in bromatological traits indicates the need for differentiated selection strategies.  aAgronomic traits  aAnalysis of variance  aForage grasses  aGenetic variation  aMultivariate analysis  aPlant breeding  aStatistical analysis  aAnálise estatística  aBrachiaria humidicola  aCapim Quicuio  aCaracterísticas Agronômicas  aGramínea forrageira  aMelhoramento genético vegetal  aMétodo estatístico  aVariação genética  aAmazonia Occidental  aAmazônia Ocidental  aAnálise de variância  aAnálisis de multivarianza  aAnálisis de varianza  aAnálisis estadístico  aFitomejoramiento  aPastos forrajeros  aTeste de Scott-Knott  aVariación genética  aWestern Amazon1 aSANTOS, C.
