Resumen
Descripción
In Cuba, agrobiodiversity fairs have been increased within the implementation framework of Local Agricultural Innovation Program (LAIP), where participatory varietal selection (PVS) has been documented in crops as bean, tomato, rice and others; however, there are not any evidence of the impact of this activity on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Therefore, this work was conducted with the objective of contributing to improve the documentary fund related with PVS in chickpea crop. In November 2009, 26 chickpea (21 foreign and 5 national) cultivars were seeded in areas from “Gilberto León” Agricultural Production Cooperative (APC), San Antonio de los Baños municipality, Artemisa province. Diversity fair was held during pod filling phase where participants implemented PVS. Results showed a high diversity of criteria when selecting cultivars of interest and the most frequently used were vegetative vigor, pod number per plant and grain size. Then, 20 promising lines were selected for the area. The study shows that there are great potentialities for the introduction, evaluation and participatory selection of foreign and national materials, with the aim of achieving diversity increases in chickpea cultivars of interest that are better adapted to local conditions.
