Resumen
Descripción
The need to have new cultivars of malanga Xanthosoma , preferably with white rhizomes, high yields and according to the demanding palates is a problem to be solved by the improvement program of the Research Institute of Tropical Viands (INIVIT according its acronyms in Spanish), of which is part of the present work. The improvement of the cocoyam ( Xanthosoma spp.) has its limitations in Cuba because the emission of inflorescences is very sporadic in the commercially important species as food and the hybridization does not occur naturally. ‘INIVIT MX-2010’ is a new cultivar obtained by the classical method of clonal selection in the Cuban Xanthosoma cocoyam germplasm collection, which also includes cultivars currently considered as commercial, which has high yields, quality for consumption and can be harvested from the nine months of planting. It is registered in the Register of Commercial Varieties of the Direction of Seeds and Plant Genetic Resources of Ministry of Agriculture.
