Increased Production of Tara (Caesalpinia spinosa) by Edaphoclimatic Variation in the Altitudinal Gradient of the Peruvian Andes

Tara production occurs mainly in the altitude gradient, where edaphoclimatic conditions that affect of pods still need to be understood. The goal was determine altitudinal and effect on tara agroforestry natural remnants Cajamarca, Peru. Data analyses performed were following: principal component analysis (PCA), regression analysis, bootstrap method, Pearson correlation analysis. For each 1 °C increase temperature, length width pod decreased by 2.1 0.62 mm, seed 0.17 0.12 mm environment; likewise, pod, valve, gum weights reduced 23.9, 10.9, 13 2.3 g environment, 22.3, 13, 9.3 environment. Activities such as association with annual crops perennial pasture possibly favor weight environment when compared Larger dimensions higher are related soil CaCO3 contents P B at altitudes. Higher Fe suggest an improvement tara’s tannin (valve) effective response tara, reflected its size pods, than a Further studies necessary for better understanding interaction between fertility expand revenue employment Peruvian farmers.
