Evaluation and participatory selection of new tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., section Lycopersicon) lines in Camagüey
Main Article Content
Abstract
continue increasing the genetic diversity of Solanum
lycopersicum L section Lycopersicon species in Camagüey,
to let the farmers adopt the most adapted varieties to their farm
conditions. These investigations were conducted at the experimental
areas from INIVIT in Camagüey and a producer�??s farm
from �??Niceto Perez�?� CSC in Vertientes. In both cases, a
comparative yield trial was performed, according to the
traditional plant breeding methods, and two agrobiodiversity
fairs, which is an important tool of the new breeding methods
known as Participatory Plant Breeding. The comparative trial
results were evaluated through a two-way classification
Variance Analysis and Newman�??Keuls´ test, to establish
varietal effect. Results from the fair were analyzed by the
amount of times each variety was selected, besides determining
the influence of participants´gender and social function on
selection. Lignon, Campbell-28 and Tropical C-28-V reached
the highest values in the comparative trial of Camagüey;
however, lines 38, Lignon and 43 showed a good performance
in both fairs. Rilia and Amalia were the most selected varieties
in the fair from Vertientes. It is recommended to continue the
extension work to the commercial production of these
varieties: Lignon, Rilia, Amalia, Mariela and Mara, also
including lines 38 and 43 to new tests.
