Agromorphological Characterization of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Collection from Burkina Faso

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. or roselle is an important vegetable crop in several African countries. It rich vitamins and minerals widely used the diet of local populations Africa, especially Burkina Faso. However, up to now, there no in-depth study describing genetic diversity that has been carried out assess ecotypes cultivated Thus, this aims contribute providing more insights into variability Faso through agromorphological characterization. For purpose, a trial was using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. 48 accessions collected from farmers were assessed. Agromorphological data collection involved 12 qualitative 18 quantitative traits. The traits analysis showed high leaf, stem, flower color shape. Analysis variance (ANOVA), hierarchical cluster (HCA), principal component (PCA) performed data. results indicated significant differences among all genotypes for measured. first axes PCA explain 69.62% variability. Furthermore, agromophological which structured (03) groups. This will enhancement improvement sabdariffa.
