3. THE 1st GENERATION
(Fine-cocoa era)
• Time : 1912—1970s.
• Focused to select fine-cocoa clones.
• Breeding materials is the introduced hybrid of
Trinitario.
• Main issue : flavor
• Based in Java.
• Planting materials distributed just for big
plantation.

4. The selected clones
DR 1 DR 2 DR 38 DRC 16 GC 7
• Yield (tones/ha) : 1.50 2.16 1.50 1.54 2.0
• A dry bean (g) : 1.36 1.21 1.47 1.19 1.24
• Self Compatibility : SI SC SC SC SI
• PPR resistance : S S S R S
• VSD resistance : S S S S S

5. THE 2nd GENERATION
(Bulk-cocoa era)
• Time : 1970s—1990s
• Focused to select bulk-cocoa clones & hybrids
• Breeding materials is Forastero Upper Amazon Hybrids
which be introduced from Malaysia & some introduced
clones. .
• Main issue : Productivity & quality
• Based in Sumatra.
• The selected clones are mainly distributed for big
plantation.

6. The selected clones
ICS 13 ICS 60 TSH 858 RCC 70 PA 300 NIC 7
• Yield (tones/ha) : 1.83 1.50 1.76 2.28 1.40 1.65
• A dry bean (g) : 1.05 1.67 1.15 1.18 1.14 1.50
• Self Compatibility : SC SI SI SC - SC
• PPR resistance : M M M M M M
• Fat content (%) : 52 54 56 57 54 53
• VSD resistance : S M S S M S
• CPB resistance : S S S - - -

7. THE 3rd GENERATION
(Pest-Disease era)
• Time : 1990s—now
• Focus to select both of the bulk-cocoa clones, fine-cocoa
clones, and hybrids
• Breeding materials is hybrids population of Trinitario.
• Main issue :
Productivity, quality & pest/disease resistance
• National based area.
• Planting materials were already distributed for big
plantation & cocoa smallholder. Some are still in
developmental phase.

8. The selected clones
Fine-cocoa
ICCRI 01 ICCRI 02
• Yield (tones/ha) : 2.50 2.37
• A dry bean (g) : 1.36 1.32
• Self Compatibility : SC SC
• PPR resistance : R R
• VSD resistance : S S

9. The selected clones
Bulk-cocoa
ICCRI 03 ICCRI 04
• Yield (tones/ha) : 2.19 2.16
• A dry bean (g) : 1.18 1.12
• Self Compatibility : - -
• PPR resistance : R R
• Fat content (%) : 55 55
• VSD resistance : MS MR

14. PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH ON
CLONE SELECTION
• Based on basic intuitive farmer select
the intended tree of vigorous genotype
for their planting.
• Pioneer work by pioneer farmer.
• Initially mediated by extension.
• Participative farmer depend on the
training program.

15. CRITERIA OF THE PREFFERED
LOCAL CLONE
• Continuously produce fruit to sustain
home income during the year.
• High productivity (1.5—2.0
tones/ha/yr).
• Easily be propagated by using side-
grafting or top grafting in the field.
• Resistance to CPB or VSD.
• Quality - buyer would give premium
price for the beans.

16. Candidate of

18. Candidate of Superior Clone(Local Clone)
In West Sumatera, Indonesia

19. Candidate of Superior Clone(Local Clone)

20. Candidate for Fine Flavor Cocoa
in East Java
Promising to VSD
