CHARACTERIZATION AGRO - MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NINE VARIETIES OF COFFEE ARÁBIGO (COFFEA ARÁBICA L.) IN THE CALUMA CANTON, BOLIVAR PROVINCE, ECUADOR
Abstract
Sustainable coffee has three dimensions: economic, social and environmental. Based on this approach, the present research is carried out in the "El Triunfo" Experimental Farm with the objective of morphologically validating nine varieties of Arabica coffee from the National Coffee Council (COFENAC), in the absence of alternative germplasm material for renovation of orchards, with plants that have characteristics of resistance to pests and diseases, tolerance to extreme environmental processes and high productivity indexes. Therefore, it is of vital importance to develop technological alternatives that allow to diversify the existing coffee materials for the sector, with the following varieties: Pache - Catuai red - Bourbon - Catuaí yellow - Catimor 02 - Catimor 01 - Sarchimor 4260 - Sarchimor 1669-02 - Sarchimor 1669-01, and transfer the validated technology and preliminary results achieved to the beneficiaries of Canton Caluma, Province of Bolívar, Ecuador.
