The objective of this work was to assess field vegetative development of oil palm comercial hibrids up to age of 18 months, in two ecosystems of Roraima. Two essays are being conducted, one of them in area of savanna and the other in deforested area with assessment of commercial hybrids BRS 2528, BRS 3701 and BRS 2301, under experimental design of completely random blocks with six replicates. Monthly measurements, which began 14 months after field planting, took place concerning to number of emitted leaves, width of leaf nr.4 (cm), plant hight (cm) and ground level stem diameter (cm). Individual and conjoined variance analysis were performed, considering the effects of hybrids and periods as fixed and the others as aleatory. For comparison of estimated averages of assessed characteristics, Tukey test at level of 5% probability was used. As to detect alterations relative to characteristics during the period of study, concerning each environment, regression equations were estimated, the assessed characteritic being the dependent variable and the measurement epochs being the independent variable. One may conclude that, in deforested areas, hybrids show higher vegetative development than those obtained in savanna; hybrids BRS 2528, BRS 3701 and BRS 2301 showed vegetative development equivalent in savana and hibrid BRS 2301 outstanded from the others in deforested area.
