Evaluación agronómica de tres variedades comerciales de maní (Arachis hypogaea L.) en la Granja Limoncito.

Abstract

During the present investigation the varieties were used: INIAP 380, INIAP 382 and INIAP 383. Whose objectives were: To evaluate the agronomic behavior of commercial peanut varieties INIAP 380, INIAP 382 - Caramelo and INIAP 383 - Pintado, in the UCSG’s Limoncito Farm in the Santa Elena province. Determine the best variety that suits the area based on performance and agronomic behavior. Perform a bromatological analysis of the materials under study. The design of Random Complete Blocks was used, with 3 treatments and 25 repetitions. Comparisons of treatment averages were made using the Duncan Test. The variables evaluated were: plant height (cm), branches per plant, pods per plant, grains per pod, shell / almond ratio, an d pods per plant, yield and bromatological analysis. In results, the highest growth of INIAP 382 was observed in plant height, followed by INIAP 380. In branches per plant stands INIAP 380 and INIAP 382. In pods per plant INIAP 382 has the highest average, followed by INIAP 380. In grains per pod, INIAP 380 and INIAP 383. Stand out. In the shell / almond ratio, the results obtained were statistically similar. In performance, INIAP 380 stands out, followed by INIAP 382. In the degree of association determined by yield, pods per plant, grains per pod and peel / almond ratio, show significant correlations. INIAP 382 excels in fat content, while in proteins the response in the three varieties was similar.
