Performance of hybrids of coconut palm for production of fruits and solid fresh albumen

The performance of six hybrids of coconut palm were evaluated for fruit and solid fresh albumen production in Moju, State of Pará. The evaluated hybrids were: PB 121 (Dwarf Yellow of Malaysia x West African Giant); PB 111 (Dwarf Red of Cameron x West Afican Giant); PB 141 (Dwarf Green of Brazil x West Aficam Giant); PB 123 (Dwarf Yellow of Malaysia x Renel's Giant); PB 132 (Red Dwarf of Malaysia x (Giant from Polynesia); PB 113 (Dwarf Red of Cameron x Renel's Giant) in hazard blocks and six repetitions. It was verified through variance analysis, significancy difference between treatments, as result of the heterogeneity of the studied genetic material. The sources of variation year and the interaction years x treatments showed also highly significant, evidencing that the behavior of the hybrids was induced for those sources of variation. Considering the performance of the hybrids in the period of nine years of evaluation for fruit and fresh solid albumen production, the hybrids PB 111, PB 113 and PB 141 may be recommended for planting in Pará State.
