Evaluation of fruit in four localities of the Cupeyal of North department of conservation, “Alejandro de Humboldt” National Park (PNAH), Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
As part of a comprehensive study on the diversity and health of fruit trees, the existence of fruit trees in four locations of the Cupeyal del Norte Conservation Departments is evaluated. This study responds to the current problems detested in the different work sites in the same period of fruit tree plantations with the aim of rejuvenating and maintaining their diversity as a premise to maintain and increase the production of fruit trees for the use of Humans and wildlife. To search for an alternative agricultural model several criteria are already put into practice, stories such as the development of policy strategies, the diversification of the use of biofertilizers, the integrated management of pests, the sustainable use of soils and the link of man to the area. The results correspond to the presence of 17 families, grouped into 12 genera and 12 species; a gender level prevailed for its representative wealth citrus with five species. The most abundant species were found in the town of Cayo Verraco with 16, followed by Solis de Castro with nine. The predominant biological form was trees (94.1 %). Of these, nine species have been firewood, one changed ornamental value, 17 are sources of medicine, 11 of wood and 16 of food for humans and wild faunas, one for handcrafted and six are used to make cosmetics.
