Evaluation and participatory selection of new tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) lines in Havana province
Main Article Content
Abstract
increasing the genetic diversity of Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill species by farmers from Havana province and to let them
adopt the best adapted varieties to the agroecological
conditions of their farms. Investigations were conducted in
the experimental areas of the National Institute of Agricultural
Sciences, San José de las Lajas and a producer�??s farm from
�??Juan Benito Ruiz�?� Credit and Service cooperative, Batabanó.
In the first case, a comparative trial of yield was performed
according to traditional plant breeding methods; in the second
one, an agrobiodiversity fair was celebrated, following the new
breeding method known as Participatory Plant Breeding.
Results were evaluated by double classification variance
analysis and Newman-Keuls test to establish varietal effect.
Results of the agrobiodiversity fair were analyzed by every
producer selecting each variety, also determining the influence
of gender and participants�?? social function. The variety Mara
and lines 1, 35 and 44 showed a good behaviour in both tests;
therefore, they are recommended to be extended in Batabanó
and to continue being evaluated in other localities of the
province.
