Este estudio se realizó en el Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonia Peruana-IIAP, ubicado en el km 12.4 de la Carretera Federico Basadre; con el objetivo de evaluar y determinar la caracterización vegetativa, productiva y postcosecha en nueve clones de Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) Mc Vaugh, se utilizó un experimento de competición de clones mediante un diseño completamente al azar (DCA) con diez repeticiones y una planta por unidad experimental, la parcela estuvo constituida por nueve clones (CA-253, CA-306, CA294, CA-51, CA-81, CA-84, CA-39, CA-168 y CA-242). Para uniformizar el material se realizó poda y defoliación manual. Las variables evaluadas fueron: número y longitud de brotes (cm), longitud de entrenudo (cm), diámetro de copa (m) y basal (mm), tipo de copa, presencia de plagas, número de botones florales, numero de frutos verdes y numero de frutos de cosecha, peso de ...

Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a fruit tree native to the Peruvian Amazon. The first plantations were grown at high densities. However, after 20 years of cultivation, the trees exhibit low flowering and fruiting. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different thinning densities (3 x 3 m; 6 x 3 m; 4.24 x 4.24 x 6 m, and 6 x 6 m) and fruiting pruning on fruit production in 20-year-old Myrciaria dubia plants. The study evaluated several variables, including the number of flower buds, green and harvested fruits, as well as the mass (g) and equatorial diameter (mm) of the harvested fruits, fruit yield (t ha-1), and light intensity (lux). The best results were observed in Myrciaria dubia plants that were influenced by a thinning density of 6 x 3 m and were not pruned. These plants had the highest number of flower buds, green and harvested fruits, fruit yield, and light in...
