Abstract

To evaluate the environmental effects at different altitudes on the vegetative growth of the “golden berry” crop (Physalis peruviana L.), two replicate experiments were conducted at Molino (2280 m a.s.l.) and Ichocan (2834 m a.s.l.) locations in the Huánuco region of Peru. Plant height, recorded at four intervals (34–182 days after transplanting – dat), was consistently taller at the lower altitude. In the final evaluation, plants from Molino were 32 % taller and had a main stem diameter and secondary stem length 40 % and 105 % larger than those from Ichocan. The higher temperatures at the lower-altitude location allowed plants to accumulate 42 % more degree-days and form 19 % more stem nodes. However, at the higher altitude site, the plants were more efficient at configuring nodes, as at the end of the evaluation, they formed 0.0280 nodes for each degree-day accumulated above the base temperature of 6.3 °C. In contrast, at lower altitudes, only 0.0235 nodes were formed per degree-day.
