Abstract
A principle followed by plant breeders in the cultivation of taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is to obtain new short-cycle cultivars. 'INIVIT MC-2019' is a new cultivar obtained by the classic clonal selection method with high yield potential (38 t ha-1), greater earliness and excellent culinary properties. Its corms are large and rhizomes are numerous and of a good size. The quality for consumption meets demands of the palate. In addition, it is a resilient clone and its harvest can begin after seven months of planting. It has shown a good response in different edaphoclimatic conditions of the country and it is well accepted by the Cuban population due to the white color of the mass, an aspect that is preferred in this genus. This clone is being introduced in certain places in the national territory with excellent approval from the producers and its multiplication by agamic means continues.
