Abstract

The experiment was executed in the Estación Experimental Agroforestal of Baracoa, Guantánamo province, with the objective of measuring the productive components which decide the productive potential in introduced genotypes and prospected. The plantation of cocoa was composed by introduced genotypes of cocoa and prospected spread by grafting. A design of blocks was used at random. The evaluations to the fruit were: quantity for plants (FP), weigh for plants (PF), quantity of seeds for fruits (NS), weight of humid cocoa (PCH), diameter of the fruit (AF), thickness of the shell (GF), longitude of the fruit (LF) and color (CF). The analysis of variance double classification carried out to the quantitative genetic aspects showed that there were significant differences among the treatments, except for fruits for plant. In the characters PF, PCH, LF and NS, the biggest stockings were observed in the introduced cultivars CCN-51 and prospected EICB-146, EICB-201, EICB-295, and EICB-321. they stood out with the biggest values means in the yield GF and NS the cultivars CCN-51, EICB-146, EICB-295 and EICB-321. The indicative LF, GF and NS reached bigger stockings in the cultivars CCN-51, EICB-146 and EICB-201. It can be used cultivating introduced CCN-51 and the prospected EICB-146, EICB-201, EICB-295 and EICB-321, for the plantation of new areas of cocoa or renovation to have yields between 0,45 t/ha and 2,2 t/ha.
