Resumo
Brazil is the largest producer of passion fruit, but little is known about the adaptability of recently released cultivars in different producing regions. This study aims to evaluate the vegetative and reproductive development of sour and sweet passion fruit cultivars in the northern coast of Espírito Santo. Five sour passion fruit cultivars (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa, cv. ‘BRS Gigante Amarelo’, “BRS Rubi do Cerrado’, ‘BRS Sol do Cerrado', “FB-200 Yellow Master' and ‘FB-300 Araguari') and three sweet passion fruit cultivars [P. setacea DC. cv. (BRS Pérola do Cerrado'), P. cincinnata Mast. (BRS Sertão Forte’) and P. alata Curtis (BRS Mel do Cerrado’)] were evaluated. The experiment was conducted from August 2021 to July 2023 in the municipality of Sooretama/ES, using a randomized block design with 8 treatments, 9 replicates, and 5 plants per plot. Vegetative development was assessed 50 and 90 days after transplanting. Productivity and physicochemical fruit quality were evaluated during two productive cycles. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and means were grouped using the Scott Knott test (p<0.05). Vegetative development was superior in ‘BRS Sertão Forte' and inferior in ‘BRS Mel do Cerrado' and “BRS Pérola do Cerrado’. Higher productivity was obtained in sour passion fruits compared to sweet ones. However, the harvest was staggered throughout the year. Production was superior in “FB-300 Araguari' and ‘BRS Rubi do Cerrado', while fruit quality was similar among the sour cultivars. “BRS Pérola do Cerrado' had a higher number of fruits and vitamin C content, while ‘BRS Mel do Cerrado' had higher soluble solids content and ratio. Staggered harvesting can be an alternative for income distribution for farmers, while the distinct quality among cultivars allows for targeting different markets
