Abstract

CASTRO, D. C et al. Estadios fenológicos de desarrollo en “Ñangapirí” (Eugenia uniflora L.) de acuerdo a la escala BBCH. FAVE. Secc. Cienc. agrar. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.2, pp.7-21. ISSN 1666-7719.

This research studied the phenological growth and development stages of Eugenia uniflora L., a native South American species whose berries have economic relevance in markets linked to family farmers in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Data were collected from a plantation of this species growing in the experimental field of the Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias of the Universidad Nacional del Litoral (Esperanza, Santa Fe, Argentina. S 31º23´59”; W 60º53’58”). We adapted the BBCH-scale for E. uniflora, and the phenological stages were coded using two digits; the first corresponding to the principal growth stages, and the second corresponding to the secondary growth stage, within the principal. Eight principal growth and development stages were recognized starting with vegetative and flower bud development (stage 0). The following three of them were assigned to the vegetative growth, which described leaf development on shoots (stage 1), shoot elongation (stage 3) and winter growth cessation (stage 9). The last four principal growth stages describe flower emergence (stage 5), flowering (stage 6), fruit development (stage 7) and maturity (stage 8).
