Evaluation of different plantation distances in Jamaica crop (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Institute of Agricultural Sciences (INCA), within summer 2001,
with the objective of comparing six plantation distances in the
cultivation of Jamaica (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) and its influence
on yield and its components per area to define the best density.
Distances were: 1.20x1.00 m; 1.20x0.90 m; 1.00x1.00 m;
1.00x0.90 m; 0.90x0.90 m and 0.90x0.80 m; to those plantation
frames corresponded the following densities: 8 333, 9 260,
10 000, 11 111, 12 345 and 13 888 plants.ha-1. A randomized
block design with four repetitions was used, evaluating fruit
weight plus fresh and dry calyxes separatedly. Data were
processed by means of a One-Way Classification Variance
Analysis, recording significant differences among treatments.
Results showed yield performance corresponded with plant
densities, thus obtaining 4.5 t.ha-1 with the lowest and 7.53 t.ha-1
with the highest densities of fresh calyxes.
