Calidad de plántula de árboles seleccionados de Leucaena esculenta en sistema agroforestal.

Under greenhouse conditions, seedlings quality of Leucaena esculenta selected progenies were evaluated. In this sense, in 2017 the plant growth was analyzing according to tree progenies and age after sowing, AAS, using analysis of variance and mean tests (Duncan, 0.05). The progenies and AAS showed separately significant differences (p ≤ 0.0001) in morphological variables and leaf area. Quality indexes showed significant differences between trees (progenies) and AAS, where tree 9 had the highest Dickson Index (4.54 ± 3.03). According to plant quality indexes, it concludes that seedlings from tree 7 were the best with the highest values of the morphological variables. Keywords: leaf area, plant quality index, orthodox seeds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
