Description
Summary:To obtain the new sweet potato cultivar, directed crosses were made between two parents, one early maturity and the other with high photosynthetic efficiency. The progenies resulting from the combinations showed a high variability for the characters early maturity, yield and the combination of both. The INIVIT B-70 cultivar has a harvest cycle of 100 days and a yield of 28 t [ha.sup.-1] under production conditions. Key words: plant breeding, characters, hibridization. Para la obtencion del nuevo cultivar de boniato, INIVIT B-70, se realizaron cruzamientos dirigidos entre dos progenitores, uno precoz y otro de alta eficiencia fotosintetica. Las progenies resultantes de las combinaciones efectuadas mostraron una alta variabilidad para los caracteres precocidad, rendimiento y la combinacion de ambos. El cultivar INIVIT B-70 posee un ciclo de cosecha de 100 dias y rendimiento promedio de 28 t [ha.sup.-1], en condiciones de produccion. Palabras clave: fitomejoramiento, caracteres, hibridacion.
