Vegetative Growth of Genipa americana L. Accessions

Jagua (Genipa americana L.) is widely distributed throughout the Americas. It has been used since ancient times due to pigments extracted from its fruit. This study aimed evaluate vegetative growth of five accessions by adjusting non-linear models dasometric variables. The (Porce, Chigorodó, San Carlos, Luis, and Vigía del Fuerte in Antioquia) were collected central-western region Colombia. growth, determined through plant height stem diameter (at 0.10 1.30 m), was evaluated for 262 weeks municipality Amalfi. A descriptive analysis behavior each accession performed, fit four nonlinear functional evaluated. An influence factor on found different rates. Weibull model one with best predictive capacity, which confirmed differences between accessions.
