Near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy NIRS is a highly promising method that could be adapted for rapid measurements on wood. In the Congo the best genotypes for clonal plantations are selected from hybridised eucalyptus full-sib families. From this narrow genetic base ground wood-meal samples extractive-free or not were analysed to determine quantitative relations between NIR spectral bands and extractive content lignin composition surface longitudinal growth strain and shrinkage relative to prediction accuracy. The results revealed that NIRS can be used effectively to predict characteristics linked closely with the chemical composition of wood. However the reference measurements must be accurate and must represent a wide range of values to achieve valid predictions. Methodological and metrological improvements are possible. eucalyptus breeding wood properties near infrared spectroscopy lignin shrinkage longitudinal growth stress Résumé - La spectroscopie proche infrarouge outil de diagnostic rapide de quelques propriétés de base pour le bois d eucalyptus dans un programme d amélioration génétique.
