(Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria, 2018-09) Marcelo Salvador, Mavel Nansi; Valencia Lengua, Armando
Es una enfermedad causada por el hongo Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Patouillard) este hongo es un habitante común del suelo; además del palto, ataca al manzano, mango, cítricos, melocotón, guayaba, vid, entre otros debido a su amplio rango de hospederos. La enfermedad del brazo negro también es conocida como “muerte regresiva”.

Cinchona officinalis, commonly called cascarilla or quina, has medicinal value; and is on Peru’s national coat of arms representing its plant wealth (flora), however, it is threatened by anthropogenic activities. This study aimed to determine the effect of the commercial product Myco Grow® on the growth of C. officinalis in nursery. A randomized design was used with two treatments, one with Myco Grow® application (WM) and the other without incorporating this commercial product (NM). Each treatment had three replicates consisting of 30 plants each. Monthly evaluations were performed, during which the number of dead plants, plant height, and plant diameter were recorded. Additionally, at the end of the study, the anhydrous weight of leaves, stems, and roots; leaf area; mycorrhizal frequency; mycorrhizal colonization index; and the length of extra-radicular mycelia were determined. The WM treatment achieved 36.6% lower mortality, 38.01% greater height, and 48.52% greater diameter than the NM treatment. Additionally, inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) improved the anhydrous weights of the leaves, stems, roots, and leaf area by 84.31%, 84.28%, 70.85%, and 76.91%, respectively. Regarding the three fungal variables analyzed for the WM treatment; mycorrhizal frequency was 87%, AM application led to a mycorrhizal intensity of 7.7% and an extra-radicular mycelium length of 90.3 cm. This study confirmed that AM positively influences the growth of C. officinalis in the nursery and can be used to sustainably produce this species on a large scale.

In Peru, cocoa production has increased significantly, thereby establishing a prominent position for this crop in the country's agricultural landscape. The effect of different pregerminative methods on seed germination of cocoa ecotypes and their influence on seedling development in nursery were evaluated. Three cocoa ecotypes were used INDES 24, INDES 31, and INDES 67, and five pregerminative methods were applied to the seeds with mucilage, mucilage removal, tegument removal, water immersion, and immersion in Trichoderma harzianum solution. Parameters such as germination percentage GP, mean germination time GT50, mean germination rate GR50, and plant growth characteristics in terms of cotyledon height, plant height, number of leaves per plant, and stem diameter were evaluated. The results revealed that the treatments INDES 24 removal tegument, INDES 67 removal tegument, INDES 67 water immersion, and INDES 67 immersion in T. harzianum showed the best GPs of 100% at 72 h. Additionally, the INDES 67 tegument removal showed the best mean germination time and rate GT50 and GR50 with 24 h and 8 seeds/24 h, respectively. For growth parameters, INDES 67 mucilage removal showed the highest values for cotyledon height and the number of leaves per plant with 4 cm and 13.33 leaves/plant; for plant height and stem diameter, the treatments INDES 31 tegument removal and INDES 24 mucilage removal obtained the highest average values with 30.21 cm and 6.65 mm, respectively. These findings demonstrate that pregerminative methods significantly impact the germination and growth of cocoa plants. This insight can enhance cocoa propagation practices and improve the success rate of their establishment in the field.
