Abstract

An agroclimatic characterization with the aim to establish the correspondence between the behavior of climatic conditions and agroecologys requirements of cocoa, in function to achieve the agroecological zoning of the same one. Precipitations and the temperatures were climatic variables evaluated. The temporary scale considered for registration of data was the monthly one. Meteorological information were used to 1976-2006 period. To precipitations analysis a series data from meteorological stations belong to Meteorology Institute and a total of 253 pluviometers of INRH net were used. For air temperature were carried out correlations of the existent ones with those located near of mountainous massif and different gradient settled down for height. The maps were elaborated with the space distribution of annual media precipitations and temperature. The results allowed recognizing that the behavior of precipitations régime of mountainous region, guarantees high and stabling flooding, during the whole year. It, together to their thermal characteristics, which makes possible the existence of appropriate climatic conditions for cocoa growth and development. The 53 % of total surface of mountainous massif Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa have optimal climatic conditions to cocoa requirements.
