Ácido naftalenacético sobre el desarrollo de frutos y potencial de aceite en racimo en el cultivo de hibrido OxG (Coarí x la Mé), en fase de laboratorio.

Abstract

The research work was carried out at the Oil Palm Research Center (ANCUPA), located at km 37 ½ via Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas - La Concordia, to evaluate the effect of the application of Naphthalenacetic Acid (ANA) in the fruit development and oil potential in bunches in the culture of interspecific hybrid OxG. A Random Complete Blocks Design (DBCA) was used with 8 treatments and 3 repetitions, applying POLLEN + ANA, in normal parthenocarpic and stenopermocarpic fruits in the different variables such as diameter of fruit, length of fruit, recovery of walnut, content of oil in dry mesocarp and oil potential in cluster, the results obtained were compared using the Tukey test in the software application PSPP (Statistical Software), where the coefficient of variation and the total mean could be determined, reflecting that there are significant differences in few applications in the variables; in this case diameter of the fruit (in the application of normal fruits) and in the recovery of walnut. Therefore, it is concluded from the results that artificial pollination with Naphthaleneacetic Acid benefits the cultivation of oil palm or also known as hybrid OxG, transforming the distribution and potential of oil in the development of seedless fruits, taking into account This important aspect is required to achieve an adequate balance between the content of both normal and parthenocarpic and stenopermocarpic fruits.
