    Clonal garden

    December 11, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    The clonal garden is installed in an area that was recently bought by the ECA Yanesha. The plan is to install a cacao processing facility there in the future, to have a collection location and to have a clonal garden. They have already started with installing the clonal garden

    Agroforestry test:
    First with banana for temporary shade, when the banana is 90 cm, they will plant cacao in between.

    With aromatic clones:
    TSH 565
    Brae 99
    Brae 15
    ICS 95

    There are specific markets, who pay a higher price

    They need special management, so they want to have a demonstration plot

    They planted Marupa in the perimeter

    Barras yemera to propagate new plots

    This is a new clonal garden. In the other clonal garden they started using glyphosate so they had to abandon it.
