Participatory varietal selection of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in diversity fair of San Antonio de los Baños, Artemisa, Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
been increased within the implementation framework of
Local Agricultural Innovation Program (LAIP), where
participatory varietal selection (PVS) has been documented
in crops as bean, tomato, rice and others; however, there
are not any evidence of the impact of this activity on
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Therefore, this work was
conducted with the objective of contributing to improve
the documentary fund related with PVS in chickpea crop.
In November 2009, 26 chickpea (21 foreign and 5 national)
cultivars were seeded in areas from “Gilberto León”
Agricultural Production Cooperative (APC), San Antonio
de los Baños municipality, Artemisa province. Diversity
fair was held during pod filling phase where participants
implemented PVS. Results showed a high diversity of
criteria when selecting cultivars of interest and the most
frequently used were vegetative vigor, pod number per plant
and grain size. Then, 20 promising lines were selected for
the area. The study shows that there are great potentialities
for the introduction, evaluation and participatory selection
of foreign and national materials, with the aim of achieving
diversity increases in chickpea cultivars of interest that are
better adapted to local conditions.
