TICONA ALIAGA, Johnny  and  CONDORI CHIPANA, Misael. Characterization agromorfologica of six varieties of the genus musa at the Station Experimental de Sapecho Alto Beni-La Paz. Apthapi [online]. 2018, vol.4, n.2, pp. 1063-1072. ISSN 0102-0304.

In the Alto Beni region there are a variety of varieties of the genus Musa, some very commercial that are cultivated in large areas (ha) and others simply for consumption as exotic fruit grown in the courtyard of the house, few plants associated with other plantations, specifically of these varieties there are no investigations or records in the región. In this work, the six varieties established in the Sapecho Experimental Station - UMSA were characterized, with a view to determining phenotypic variability and agronomic behavior. For the characterization, the banana descriptors (Musa ss.) Of the International Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (IPGRI, 1996) were used. By performing the multivariate analysis it was possible to appreciate variability in the characterized varieties, forming three groups: group 1, Guayaquil, yellow apple tree and red apple tree; group 2, sedita and island and group 3, motakusillo.
