Para las progenies híbridas, al menos el 70% de sus individuos deben presentar esta característica, para lo cual se registraron datos a los tres, siete y quince días respectivamente, con el fin de tener mayor precisión en el proceso de desarrollo y rendimiento inicial del fruto. Los resultados mostraron que existía una amplia variabilidad en cuanto al nivel de autocompatibilidad de los individuos dentro de todas las familias estudiadas. Solo 3 de las 71 familias estudiadas tenían un número suficiente de individuos autocompatibles para ser clasificados de la misma manera. Sin embargo, su desempeño promedio no fue necesariamente superior al de otras familias que eran autocompatibles. Por otro lado, también se podría confirmar que la compatibilidad de un árbol, clon o cruce puede cambiar su porcentaje de fertilización según el tiempo y las condiciones ambientales.

Introduction
Ecuador is the world’s leading producer of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) of high quality and commercial interest (Quiroz and Amores, 2002). As stated by

National type cocoa is attributed to the use of genotypes of unknown genetic origin, unselected, mixed and of low productivity
Incompatibility is a genetic phenomenon, governed by a biochemical process in the recognition, acceptance or rejection of pollen, which occurs in the pollen tube of the recipient flower and in some cases in the stigma (Aránzazu et al., 2008). As indicated by Macoto et al., (2013), in 1960, after the discovery of heterosis in cocoa, the genetic improvement programs in cocoa focused on several countries for the production of interclonal hybrids. Most of the T. cacao accessions are
The incompatibility problem is general in all the provinces of Ecuador, where cocoa growns (Moreno, 1970). As stated by Aránzazu et al., (2008) currently faces the productive inefficiency of hybrid plantations, of advanced age and inadequate management, as well as the existence of a large percentage of unproductive or very low production trees, caused by the phenomenon known as “sexual incompatibility”. For (Quinaluisa 2010), this is because tree physiological conditions can change the compatibility system at several levels. As

pollinating insects and they only transport pollen from one tree to another at a certain time. The productive capacity of T. cacao will depend on the reproductive efficiency of the formation of fruits, flowers, pollen and ovules, which may be specific to the genotype (García- Cruzatty et al., 2020).
It is known that the adult cocoa plant under normal conditions can produce 6000 to 10000 flowers per year, of which only 1% become fruit. The setting or fertilization may be even lower due to the lack of specific pollinating insects such as the fly (Forcypomnia spp.) (Vera et al., 2016). Compatibility is translated as the ability of a cocoa plant to produce seeds, either by
Artificial pollination is the procedure used to obtain seed trees, with outstanding characteristics in terms of production, early quality, and resistance to diseases or pests. Studies carried out by INIAP have allowed the procedure to be developed, which consists of manually pollinating fresh cocoa flowers, of national origin, with which it is possible to provoke a growing expression of being able to increase the yield of decadent traditional cocoa plantations, profitably, but has not been tested on
It is important to mention that hybridization or natural combination of genotypes other than cocoa has occurred in nature for hundreds of years. This fact,
together with the existing bioclimatic conditions, has resulted in the current Ecuadorian cocoa maintaining its unique characteristics.
Based on the background described, the objective of this study was to estimate the level of compatibility of a group of hybrid progenies and its relationship with their performance.

*The selection of trees was made based on their health and production characteristics during six years of study
compatible trees with high productivity (Table 1). For each trial the number of treatments/trials, number of repetitions/trials, number of trees/treatment and total trees/trial are shown in Table 2.
Employed tools
For the execution of the experiment it was necessary to tubes Eppendorf, which served both for the isolation of floral buttons and the protection of pollinated flowers. The plastic tubes were 5 ml long by 1 ml in diameter, closed at one end and weighing 0.65 g.
Pollination technique
To determine
mature and ready to open the next day in the morning are selected, which are generally characterized by swelling that indicates the beginning of the opening of the button for the formation of the flower. Plastic tubes were placed on the selected buttons, this is done to ensure that at the time of opening the flower no pollinator has access to them and thus be sure that self- pollinations are carried out. This work was carried out in the afternoon of the day before the anthesis of the flower (Alvarado et al., 2017).
In the morning of the next day when the flower was open, the pollinations were carried out manually, these were carried out between 7:30 am to 11:30 am. On rainy days it was waited until it stopped and continued later. 20

stamens of the flowers from the same tree were taken, after releasing the shell or cogulla. Holding it with the forceps, the anthers were rubbed on the stigma or style of the flower, with a smooth movement from the bottom up, until they were sure that enough pollen had been deposited on the female organ. The flower was immediately covered with the tube.

Unfertilized flowers
The registration of this variable was done jointly with the previous one, counting the number of pollinated flowers that had come off, or that remained in the tree in the process of physiological wilting (Cherelles wilt).
Fertilization percentage
This variable was estimated by counting the number of flowers fertilized at 15 days after pollinations. This calculation was made with the following formula.

Statistical analyzes were based on the analysis per family (% compatibility by family and individuals) and by each characteristic; rank/tree based on four selection criteria for the total years of evaluation:
•Potential fresh weight (PF Pot = (PF of MS + PF of ME)) = the estimated production based on total produced fruits
•Percentage of healthy (harvested) ears (% DM)
•Witch’s broom (WB) = total witch’s brooms

The distance among annual average fresh weight yield and less productive tree (318 g), and the most productive one (2042 g) was 1724 g, equivalent to 542%.

20.9quintals/ha/year could be expected. This figure is quite acceptable considering that the experiment was conducted under rainfed conditions.
Some trees had no production during the first years of evaluation and were those that generally coincided with those with less production. It was also observed during 2006 when the yield of any tree was superior to that of 2007, with two exceptions. However, it is notorious that the variability observed for the yield between trees in 2006 was not consistent with the variability between trees for the dry weight accumulated during the six years of evaluation
In general, the trees with more yield showed a greater number of healthy ears, less number of diseased ears and percentages of diseased ears less than 10%. It is evident that the percentage of diseased ears went from low to medium (from 0 - 21.4%), in the group of

Discussion
The
In other trees it was observed that many flowers fell after 10 days of
It was also observed that in some trees a good number of cobs from manual pollination were affected by the phenomenon of physiological wilting or “ Cherelles wilt “, mainly when they were between one and two months old, which suggests a response of the tree to an overload of ears, thus regulating the number of fruits can hold.
With regard to the results obtained from the self-
compatible hybrid families (Table 3), it suggests that this genetic characteristic is present in a dominant state in each of the individuals belonging to these families. Based on this, it is worth to mention that it would be the cause of large losses for farmers if the selected and recommended hybrid progeny were

(2013) expressed that the number of healthy ears is decisive for yield key, which has direct proportionality with the variable total fresh weight. According to Barrón et al. (2014), the genetic improvement of cocoa is a strategy to obtain more productive trees.
Table 5 also shows the absence of diseased ears in the six years of evaluation for the hybrids CCAT-
