Scientia Agropecuaria [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.2, pp.281-286. ISSN 2077-9917.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17268/sci.agropecu.2018.02.13.

A study with qualitative and quantitative morphological descriptors was carried out in Arracacia xanthorrhiza Bancr plants. from three locations in the province of Tungurahua, Ecuador: Baños, Tisaleo and Pillaro municipalities and it was established that, according to the analysis of the analysis of the principal components, the first three components explain more than 75% of the total variation.
