Production of four varieties of Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L), in Úrsulo Galván, Veracruz, Mexico

Abstract

Currently, research in the introduction of crops in an area, region, or zone, is essential to determine the potential that the species being introduced may have. Therefore, the importance of introducing four species of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L), in the region of Úrsulo Galván, under a completely randomized experimental design. Specially in those places where monocultures predominate, since the option provided as an alternative must meet several characteristics, among which the main ones are: adaptation, growth, development, production and commercialization. To determine which of the species are those that adapt to the climatic conditions, as well as edaphic conditions of the area. If we add to the above economic improvements in terms of the income received per hectare, it will be much more attractive for producers. However, proposals should also be sought that contribute to reforestation, carbon dioxide capture and that benefits the local species. All the above with the intention of implementing sustainable polycultures and improving the characteristics of the region where they are established, as well as diversifying crops.
