Abstract


Background: Ilama (Annona diversifolia) is a fruit species native to Mexico, with Guerrero being the state with the largest planted area. This production is mainly concentrated in small backyard plantations and marginal areas. In fruit trees, fruit growth patterns are classified into two main types: sigmoid and double sigmoid. Growth pattern analysis and nutrient dynamics are key tools for implementing management strategies aimed at improving fruit quality. Objective: To characterize the growth pattern and nutrient accumulation dynamics in fruits of two native ilama genotypes (white-fleshed and wine-fleshed), in order to generate information to support agronomic management strategies and crop valorization. It was hypothesized that both genotypes exhibit a double sigmoid growth pattern and that nutrient accumulation varies significantly between tissues (flesh, seed, peel) and phenological stages. Results: Growth curves showed a double sigmoid pattern in both genotypes. At the end of development, the average polar diameter was 11.8 cm and the equatorial diameter was 11.1 cm. Nutrient accumulation was continuous throughout the growing season, with differences between tissues and specific nutrients (Ca, N, P, K, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe). Implications: This information can serve as a basis for designing specific fertilization and management strategies for ilama crops, aimed at improving their productivity and postharvest quality. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the importance of understanding ilama's nutritional dynamics and growth patterns for designing sustainable agronomic practices.
