Coincidence in the participatory selection of tomato varieties and selection per yield in an agrobiodiversity fair
Main Article Content
Abstract
growers´ selection in a tomato diversity fair with the one based
on the actual yield of each of the varieties presented in it. To
conduct the study, a demonstrative plot was seeded with 11
tomato varieties in the areas of �??17 de Mayo�?� Agricultural
Production Cooperative (CPA), located in Valle de Caujerí,
San Antonio del Sur, Guantánamo. Most of the varieties sown
match with those obtained by the breeding programs carried
out at different scientific institutions of our country. Once the
crop reached its physiological maturity, the diversity fair was
celebrated, during which every grower could freely select the
most adequate varieties according to their interests and specific
needs. In the course of the experiment, there was a comparison
between growers´ selection and yield for different selection
pressures. Among other results, growers´ favorite highyielding
varieties became evident, besides showing their ability
to select them within a rather large collection.
