Avaliação de adaptabilidade de variedades de mandioca cultivadas no município de Mari – PB.

Abstract

The culture of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is distributed throughout the Brazilian territory, being one of the main tropical food species in the world. Thus, knowing its importance for the state of Paraíba, the objective of the study was to evaluate the adaptability and productive performance of cassava cultivars in the municipality of Mari-PB. The experiment of cassava culture was implemented by the pilot project team: Productive property, during the period from April 2018 to April 2019 in the rural community Sítio Pirpiri in partnership with the City Hall and Federal University of Paraíba. The experimental design was arranged in random blocks (DBC), with four repetitions, those by parameters of development characteristics and productivity. The treatments were subdivided into plots, with the five varieties of cassava Pitangueira, Toinha, Rosa Branca, BRS Kiriris and Rosinha. The data obtained were submitted to Anova analysis performed in the R environment. Thus it was possible to diagnose that the Toinha and Rosinha varieties presented better productive performance when compared with the other cultivars in this cultivation cycle. Obtaining higher productivity than the averages obtained in the municipality during the last seven years.
