description A comparison of the profitability of the seed tree regeneration method versus planting is carried out.  The comparison provides useful information on the economic efficiency of both methods of regeneration which is useful for decision making. The evaluation is based on an algorithm to estimate the number of seed trees to left standing based on-site quality, variable that accounts for environmental and species intrinsic factors. An example of model calibration is shown and through a Monte Carlo simulation varying several model and costs parameters, the net present value is evaluated for both, regeneration, and planting methods over a period of t years. Results show that if there are no physiological constraints for the species regeneration through planting, this method is more cost effective than natural regeneration. Some economic and social variables that influence the producer's final decision to adopt planting are discussed. It is concluded that assisted regeneration is more cost-effective and potentially more efficient than natural regeneration.

Se realizó una evaluación de la rentabilidad económica del uso del método de regeneración de árboles padre para poblaciones arboladas en contraste con el uso de una plantación. La comparación proporciona información sobre la eficiencia económica de ambos métodos de regeneración que es útil para la toma de decisiones. La evaluación se basa en un algoritmo para estimar el número de árboles padre que se deben dejar en pie de acuerdo con la calidad de sitio, variable que integra factores ambientales e intrínsecos de cada especie. Se muestra un ejemplo de calibración del modelo y, a través de una simulación Monte Carlo, variando parámetros del modelo y costos, se evalúa el valor presente neto, tanto de la regeneración natural en un periodo de t años, como de la realización de una plantación.  Los resultados muestran que, si no existen limitantes fisiológicas de la especie y de sitio para que se regenere a través de plantación, esta es más rentable que una repoblación natural. Se discuten algunas variables económicas y sociales que influyen en la decisión final de un productor de adoptar la regeneración asistida.  Se concluye que la regeneración asistida es más rentable y potencialmente más eficiente que la regeneración natural.
