Calidad física de almendras en veintiún cruces interclonales de cacao (Theobroma Cacao l.) en Ecuador
Abstract
La presente investigación se realizó en la Finca Experimental “La Represa”, propiedad de la Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo. El objetivo fue evaluar la calidad física de la almendra de veintiún cruces interclonales de cacao; en el cual se empleó un diseño completamente al azar, como tratamientos se consideraron 20 híbridos más un testigo comercial JHVH-10, con tres repeticiones, cada unidad experimental estuvo constituida por diez plantas. Se evaluaron variables de calidad física en las almendras (Índice de semillas, número de almendras, porcentaje de testa, índice de mazorcas, largo y ancho de almendra) y una prueba de corte (porcentaje de fermentación.
Palabras clave:

ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried out in the Experimental Farm "La Represa", property of the State Technical University of Quevedo. The objective was to evaluate the physical quality of the almond of twenty-one interclonal cocoa crosses; in which a completely random design was used. As treatments were considered 20 hybrids plus a commercial control JHVH-10, with three repetitions, each experimental unit was constituted by ten plants. Physical quality variables were evaluated in almonds (seed index, number of almonds, test of percentage, cobs index, length and width of almonds) and a cut test (percentage of fermentation).Keywords:
Cocoa, hybrids, physical quality, almond, genetic material.Downloads
