MOYA, C et al. Evaluación y selección participativa de nuevas líneas de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L., sección Lycopersicon) en Camagüey. cultrop [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.2, pp. 35-41. ISSN 0258-5936.

Several research studies were carried out to continue increasing the genetic diversity of Solanum lycopersicum L section Lycopersicon species in Camagüey, to let the farmers adopt the most adapted varieties to their farm conditions. These investigations were conducted at the experimental areas from INIVIT in Camagüey and a producer’s farm from “Niceto Perez” CSC in Vertientes. In both cases, a comparative yield trial was performed, according to the traditional plant breeding methods, and two agrobiodiversity fairs, which is an important tool of the new breeding methods known as Participatory Plant Breeding. The comparative trial results were evaluated through a two-way classification Variance Analysis and Newman-Keuls´ test, to establish varietal effect. Results from the fair were analyzed by the amount of times each variety was selected, besides determining the influence of participants´gender and social function on selection. Lignon, Campbell-28 and Tropical C-28-V reached the highest values in the comparative trial of Camagüey; however, lines 38, Lignon and 43 showed a good performance in both fairs. Rilia and Amalia were the most selected varieties in the fair from Vertientes. It is recommended to continue the extension work to the commercial production of these varieties: Lignon, Rilia, Amalia, Mariela and Mara, also including lines 38 and 43 to new tests
