The national mechanism of Exchange information (MNII) in the management of the Cuban collections of coffee and cocoa
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Recourses Phytogenetics (RFG) constitute the matter it prevails basic of incalculable value and indispensable to cover the current and future necessities. The work was developed in the UCTB Estación Experimental Agroforestal Jibacoa, Manicaragua municipality, Villa Clara province. With the objective to explore the state of the RFG of coffee and cocoa in Cuba, starting from the analysis of the information of the collections. The indicators of the 20 high-priority areas of activity of the Plan of World Action (PAM) were modernized, in the Computer Application (GPA) of the National Mechanism of Information Exchange (MNII), being analyzed 83 main indicators and 68 complementary. The database was modernized in two moments (Iterations). It was dear the available diversity in the productive chain of coffee and cocoa. The indexes of diversity Alpha in the collections of coffee were determined, in function of the taxas and agreements or samples, using the program BIODIV. Graphic and tabular analyses were also used. Information of the four big areas of the PAM was offered. The analysis of the available information in the MNII allowed knowing detailed for the first time in Cuba the state of the resources phytogenetics of coffee and cocoa, standing out its importance like tool in the diversity constitute an effective tool to determine the diversity of the collections ‘ ex situ’.
