The objective of this work was to evaluate the variability among cultivars of dwarf coconut palms and among hybrids, besides identifying and quantifying associations among morphologic characters in dwarves in Tabuleiros Costeiros of the North of Sergipe State. The coconut palm exploration is an agricultural activity of elevate partner-economic importance, for its multiple uses and purposes, generation of jobs and income. It is economically important for about 86 countries. The Brazilian of coconut palm productivity is low due the poor genectic cultivars is the main problem for this activity in the country. Knowledging variability, through genetic parameters, genetic and phenotypical correlation, and the implications of the effect of the cultivar x environment to know the control of the characters, the potential of the population for selection besides facilitating and speeding up the indication to cultivate to use in programs of genetic improvement. Two experiments had been installed since 1997, in the Farm Agreste in Neópolis (SE). The used experimental desing was randomized block, with six cultivars of dwarf coconut palm and eight hybrids, respectively, with four blocks, 16 usefull plants/plot. The measurements of the characteristics were carried out quarterly from 2001 at 2004 of the analyses of variance and estimate of the components of phenotypical variation, genetic and ambient and 1999 and 2004 considering the characteristics of the juvenile and adult phase of the plants for determination of the correlations. To cultivars of dwarf coconut palm had presented potential variability to the genetic improvement with possibility of gain for selection and indication to the producer to cultivars more suitable to the diverse producing regions. The intervarietais hybrids had presented variability and little specificities in the behavior for the enviromental conditions of the four evaluated years. There are genetic associations among characters of the vegetative and reproductive phases of the dwarf coconut palms.
