Características agronômicas de seis genótipos de maracujazeiro-azedo cultivados no Distrito Federal

This work had as objective to evaluate the agronomic features of six cultivated genotypes of passion fruit in the Distrito Federal. The experiment was developed in the experimental area of Fazenda Agua Limpa (FAL) UnB, Brasilia-DF. The experimental design was randomized blocks with four useful repetitions, with six treatments, and seven plants per parcel. The six genotypes that had been evaluated were: Rubi Gigante, EC-3-0, EC-L-7, RC-3, Redondao and Gigante Amarelo. The analyzed parameters, in a period of six months (17 harvests) had been: total estimate productivity, quantity of fruits and coloration of the rind. The genotype Rubi Gigante had the biggest productivity (16, 69 t/ t/ha-1), while the RC-3 the minor (2,92 t/ t/ha-1).It was observed similar results for the parameters: average productivity and quantity of fruit number of sizes: first, 1B and 1A in relation to all the evaluated genotypes. It did not have significant difference for the Tukey test at 5% between the variables: % of yellow, pink and purple fruits; fresh mass of yellow and pink fruits; amount of pink and purple fruits and also amount of size of the fruits 2A and 3A in relation to all the evaluated genotypes. The genotypes, Rubi Gigante, Redondao, EC-3-0 and EC-L-7 can be recommended for the culture in the DF and geo-economic region, if it was confirmed the superiority when evaluated by a bigger period and in different ambient conditions.
