Efecto del ácido naftalenacético sobre la viabilidad del polen de palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis).

Abstract

For oil production and to be able to increase the percentage of oil extraction from its clusters, the mixture of naphthalanacetic acid (ANA) plus pollen is being used, however, in order for production to be successful, the dose of ANA that must be known must be known. It should be used together with the mixing time to prevent the pollen from dying and, in turn, the producer to fulfill his objective. The results that have better germination parameters using the mixture of pollen + ANA in Dura, Tenera and Pisifera pollen. Concluding that Dura pollen has the best mixing time of 10 minutes, Tenera and Pisifera are 5, where the best percentages are obtained, where Dura pollen has 82.39%, Tenerife pollen 71.41% and Pisifera pollen. 20.20%, taking into account that the most recommended dose is 0.15g of ANA. It can be said that the doses of ANA and the mixing times for viability is above 75% viability regardless of the mixing time or dose, but even if viability is high, what is most prevalent is the size of the pollen that on it depends that the expected production is obtained and the research reflects the following that the dura and Tenera pollen responds in a better way with the size of the pollen tube using 0.25g of ANA in a mixing time of 5 minutes, but the Pisifera pollen with 0.20g of ANA with a time of 5 minutes.
