Abstract

An experimental study was conducted with 18 tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum, Mill) lines obtained by the farmer Jorge Pupo1, on a noncarbonated Brown soil from the areas of Holguín Agricultural Research Territorial Station (ETIAH). The objective of this study was to characterize the lines and establish a breeding strategy that enables to achieve genotypes with varietal characteristics adapted to these territorial conditions. The available information was submitted to different analyses of the descriptive and multivariate statistics, both adequate approaches foir this kind of work, to deepen on population characterization. Results indicated a high variability
and genetic segregation of the materials evaluated; thus, it is
recommended to continue the evaluation and selection process
until reaching varietal stability; however, J10-87, J4-90, J4-92
and J6-93 were the most promising ones, the showing nice
agricultural characteristics and higher potentialities than those
varieties commonly cultivated in the territory.
