Abstract

The objective of this work is to contribute to the knowledge about the management of Jamaica flower and determine the optimal planting distance to increase production. The experience was developed in INIFAT areas with Ferralitic Red Lixiviated soil. Three treatments were studied: T1 (0.90x0.60m); T2 (0.90x0.80m) and T3 (0.90x0.90m), with three replicas. Completely randomized design was used. The parameters evaluated were: plant height, number of branches, stem diameter, number of calyxes, number of seeds per acorn and yield of fruits plus fresh calyxes. Data was processed using Duncan's test, obtaining significant differences between treatments. The results showed that the highest yields, 16t/ha, correspond to the shortest planting distance of 0.90x0.60m, which resulted in the largest number of plantations, 18,533 plants/ha, and the best performance in relation to the parameters evaluated, for what is recommended should be the optimal density to develop this crop.
