Evaluación de tres tipos de injerto de Claudia (Prunus domestica) en patrón franco de durazno (Prunus persica) en el cantón Patate

Abstract

The research was conducted in the province of Tungurahua, canton Patate in the Quíntala neighborhood, located at 2340 meters above sea level, with geographical coordinates 1°18'26" S South Latitude and 78°29'39" W West Longitude. Entitled (Evaluation of three types of grafting of Claudia (Prunus domestica) on peach (Prunus persica) rootstock in Canton Patate), the objective was to identify the type of grafting viable and the cost benefits in the production of Claudia plants. The variables evaluated were the percentage of yield, number of graft leaves, graft height, graft diameter, each at different times from 30 to 45 days, which we obtained statistical differences in a completely randomized experimental model, with three replicates and three treatments, an ADEVA (Analysis of Variance) was performed and later analyzed with a 5% Tukey test, obtaining as the best treatment that was the lateral scion graft, obtaining 100% of yield at 30 days, number of graft leaves of 29. 40, graft height of 10.95 cm, average graft diameter was 1.48 mm, for this reason, it is the recommended graft to perform on peach rootstocks (Prunus persica) in areas with climatic characteristics similar to the canton of Patate. Key words: grafting, cultivation, claudia, bud, peach.
