Abstract
Recently, a lot of work has been carried out by several plantation groups in Colombia and Ecuador with theplant regulator: Alfa Naphthalene Acetic Acid, (NAA) based on the research done by Cenipalma between 2013and 2018 on the subject. The original intention was to solve the poor bunch formation by natural pollination of the OxG hybrids and the high costs associated with the assisted pollination practice. This work was developed by Cenipalma as a liquid application. Palmeiras Colombia S. A. started trials in 2017 to adapt this protocol for commercial use and after that to convert this to a powder application with the idea of improving the logistical issues, and also allowing the addition of pollen to improve the Normal Fruit formation and thereof nuts in the individual fruits, indispensable for the milling process. Recientemente se han llevado a cabo en Colombia y en Ecuador una buena cantidad de trabajos con el fitorregulador: ácido alfa naftalenacético (ANA) basados en la investigación realizada por Cenipalma entre 2013 y 2018. La intención original fue resolver el problema de mala formación de racimos por la pobre polinización natural de los híbridos OxG y los altos costos de la polinización asistida. Estos trabajos fueron desarrollados en medio líquido. Palmeiras Colombia S. A. inició pruebas en 2017 para validar esta investigación a nivel industrial y, luego, convertir ese protocolo en una aplicación en medio sólido. Esto con la intención de optimizar la logística de las aplicaciones y de adicionar polen para mejorar la formación de frutos normales y, por ende, de nueces, indispensables para el proceso de extracción en la planta de beneficio.
