Descripción:Palmheart production was evaluated at the ages of 11, 12 and 13months in four varieties. Three of those varieties werethornless (Diamantes-1, Diamantes-10 and Diamantes-20)the other one had thorns in the trunk (Utilis-Tucurrique). Thetrial was conducted in Guapiles, Costa Rica. The parametersevaluated were: earlinesss; number of stems harvested;sheath lengths of the leaf previous-to-the emerging.leaf andof the emerging leaf; lengths of the petiole and leaf lamina;lengths of the foliar and caulinar heart of palm; weights of thefoliar and caulinar hearts of palm; diameters of the foliar andcaulinar heart of palm; and industrial yield (boxes/ha). Thevarieties Diamantes-10 and Diamantes-20 were superior inearliness and number of stems harvested. At the age of 12months the number of stems harvested per hectare were:7067, 4493, 4381 and 2370 respectively for the varietiesDiamantes-10, Diamantes-20, Diamantes-1 and Utilis-Tucurrique. The average weight per stem of foliar andcaulinar heart of palm respectively was 226.67g and 397.57gper stem for Diamantes-20; 208,91g and 379.04g forDiamantes-10; 169.47g and 264.62g for Diamantes-1; and124.81g and 122.01g for Utilis-Tucurrique. The thornlessvarieties produced a much larger caulinar heart of palm thanthe thorny variety, mainly Diamantes-20 and Diamantes-10.
