Abstract
Pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) is the most economically important species within the Bromeliaceae family. For year, it has been one of main export resources in many countries, especially the cultivar 'MD2', which, due to its soluble solids content, aroma and color, has been preferred in global markets. Although its organoleptic qualities have made it a consumer favorite, the 'MD2' is more susceptible to fungal diseases than the ´Cayenne´ and ´Champaka´ varieties, and more demanding in terms of agrotechnical management. This study aims to determine the morfo-agronomic aspects of 'MD2' pineapple plant and fruits. Clonal suckers weigh approximately 300 g were used, and the morphological indicators evaluated were survival (%) at 120 and 180 days. Quality indicators analyses of the 'MD2' fruits was also conducted: fresh fruit mass with crown (kg), fresh fruit mass without crown (kg), crown-to fruit mass ratio, soluble solids content (oBrix), acidity content (%), ascorbic acid content (mg of ascorbic acid in 100 ml of juice). The results showed that foliar application of efficient microorganisms increased the survivor and fresh mass of the plants. These increases led to higher fresh fruit mass without affecting the fruits quality.
