Costa Rica - CATIE Datafile: CATIE__DS CRI - CATIE 1 IMAGE_DS PROGENY_ Germplasm: Descriptor information is presented for 294 clones, 8 related species and on one hybrid. In addition, limited information on a further 119 clones is given. This germplasm is mainly of Latin American origin, including the United Fruit clones, UF, and genotypes from Mexico and Brazil. Environment: Each clone is represented in the collection by up to 10 trees planted in a single row. Spacing is usually 2m within the row and 3m between the rows, although parts of the collection are planted in a 2.2 x 2.2m grid. Fertilizer, N-P-K-Mg/Ca in the ratio 18:10:6:5, is applied four times a year at 150g per tree. Shade is provided in most of the collection by an almost complete closed cover of trees of Erythrina poepiggiana and Inga spp. spaced at 12 x 12m. Character data: Seed dry weight: sample is dried for 1.5 h at 130°C and cooled in a desiccator. Seed length, seed width, seed thickness: average of 5 seeds from 20 fruits. Fruit, wall thickness at ridge: fruits are transversally sectioned and the soft endocarp tissue removed. Fruit, ridge pair separation: mean ratio of the distance between ridges within a pair and the distances between the ridges of two different pairs. Leaf, flush colour: measured when leaves are 5cm long. Producitvity: values are given as: 1=very low - c. 40 pods harvested over 3 years; 3=low, 5=intermediate - c. 40 pods obtained from 3-4 harvests over 1 year; 7=high, 9=very high - c. 40 pods harvested at one time.

Notes

The USDA-ARS Tropical Agriculture Research Station's Theobroma cacao collection was field characterized in Mayaguez, PR over five years (2007-2011).

Characterization efforts focused on highly discriminating phenotypic traits in addition to agronomic traits of importance (e.g., length, width and weight of pods, diseased pods and pod index) and these were recorded for all accessions being evaluated. Cacao trees were established in a randomized complete block design in 2001 in a full sun, irrigated, pruned, fertilized and highly managed orchard. Trees were planted in a diamond pattern with two meters between trees and rows with a three meter alley between every second row for equipment. All accessions were grafted onto Amelonado rootstock. Evaluations began in 2007, when the trees were approximately six years old. Both phenotypic and agronomic traits were measured in an attempt to efficiently distinguish among genetically similar clonally propagated accessions as well as to identify some of the accessions with promising agronomic potential.
