Caracterización morfoagronómica in situ de aguacate criollo (Persea americana Miller) y su incidencia en la selección de germoplasma promisorio adaptado a tres departamentos de la zona costera de El Salvador

Abstract

The study aim characterizing morphoagronomic, to collect, to identify and to georeference avocado germ plasm that good aptitudes for the commercialization present/display; as well as, to know by means of an opinion poll the preferences and tastes the consumers avocado, in the coastal zone of the municipalities of Jiquilisco, San Pedro Masahuat and Acajutla, 15 trees of avocado characterized themselves, between zero and 50 msnm, in the months included of June to December of the 2011. Characterizing the morphology of the tree, leaves flowers and fruits; realising in addition, a bromatológico analysis to the pulp. Analyzing the information with descriptive statistic. The results found as far as the form of the leaf are oblong, lanceolada and oval. As far as the race I determine that 13 materials belonged to the Guatemalan hybrid Antillean X and 2 to the Antillean race. Material SONACAMET11MA1, as much fulfills the preferences in so large flavor and color to the consumption maturity. Also finding material that they excelled in the weight of the fruit as is case SONACAMET11MA1 and SONACACOQ11PA1. The best relation fruit seed obtained material SONACACOQ11PB1. As far as the thickness of epicarpio material SONACAMET11MA1, presents/displays a heavy thickness. By the adaptability on the level of the sea they excel materials SONACACOQ11PB1, SONACACOQ11MG, which are located to the 8 smaller altitudes of msnm. Referring to the bromatológico analysis the material that contains major percentage of protein, fat, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, receives and manganese corresponds to SONACACOQ11PB1, as far as carbohydrates the most excellent materials are SONACAMET11MA1, USUJIQZAM11PC1 and SONACACOQ11PB1.
