Acciones participativas para producción de Prunus persica L. en huertos familiares.

The research objective was to provide participatory actions by local actors for the production of Prunus persica L. (pêssego) in family orchards in the community of Surí, municipality of Guane. Three and six local stakeholders selected based on an intentional demonstration to discover their perception on the management and benefits of fruit trees. On the other hand, a pre-germination treatment (mechanical scarification) was carried out on 50 seeds, of which 42 seedlings were obtained in a micro nursery, subsequently transplanted to family orchards and their height was measured weekly for a month. The methods used for research are: Participatory Rapid Assessment, scientific and participatory measurement and observation. An in-depth interview and questionnaire form used to collect data from two actors. The most important results are: oil from local stakeholders to produce the species; strong points and bottles for your production; high percentage of seed germination; Plant the plants at the ideal height for transplanting after 33 days; The medium growth after transplanting for the first time was more than 4.5 cm per week. Foram elaborated actions for the production and handling of the species. Overall, it is concluded that local interested parties demonstrate great interest in producing the species, although they will not be familiar with its management; The pre-germinative method of mechanical scarification used was efficient.
