Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a tropical fruit crop of rapid growth and early yielding. In recent years, papaya cultivation has extended to subtropical regions due to its commercial interest. In South East Spain, protected cultivation is, however, mandatory to ensure the optimal development of the crop. Even more, to assure profitability, the selection of plant material well adapted to the structural constrains and the climatic conditions inside greenhouses is essential. With this objective, different papaya cultivars with diverse geographical origin, characteristics and pedigree have been compared. ‘BH-65’, ‘Siluet’, ‘Sensation’, ‘Intenzza’ and ‘Red Lady’ papaya cultivars were thus grown under a plastic greenhouse in Almería, SE Spain and their growth, phenology, yield and fruit quality compared in a 21-month production cycle. The results showed that ‘Siluet’ and ‘Sensation’ papayas are well-adapted to greenhouse protected cultivation, produce high yield, and optimal fruit quality for long and short distance markets. Cultivars like ‘BH-65’ could be of interest for low-height greenhouses due to its reduced plant vigor and high fruit quality. However, ‘BH-65’ yield is low. According to the European consumer preferences, the cultivation of ‘Siluet’ and ‘Sensation’ is recommended, for the harsh conditions the greenhouse cultivation imposes in subtropics.
Resumo O mamoeiro (Carica papaya L.) é uma fruteira tropical de rápido crescimento e de produção precoce. Nos últimos anos, o cultivo de mamão estendeu-se às regiões subtropicais devido ao seu interesse comercial. No sudeste da Espanha, o cultivo protegido é, no entanto, necessário para garantir o desenvolvimento ideal da colheita. Ainda mais, para garantir rentabilidade, é essencial a seleção de material vegetal bem adaptado às restrições estruturais e às condições climáticas dentro das estufas. Com esse objetivo, diferentes cultivares de mamoeiro, com diversas origens geográficas, características e genealogia, foram comparadas. As cultivares de mamoeiro ‘BH-65’, ‘Siluet’, ‘Sensation’, ‘Intenzza’ e ‘Red Lady’ foram cultivadas em uma estufa plástica em Almeria, sudeste da Espanha, e seu crescimento, fenologia, produtividade e qualidade do fruto foram comparados em um Ciclo de produção de 21 meses, iniciado em junho de 2014 e encerrado em fevereiro de 2016. Os resultados mostraram que as cultivares ‘Siluet’ e ‘Sensation’ estão bem adaptadas ao cultivo protegido em estufa, produzem alto rendimento e óti |
