They were evaluated every 15 days from 265 days after the sowing up to 390 days. A sample was selected at random using the sample systematic answered design, analyzing the information by means of the statistical technology of Analysis of Principal components (APC). According to the statistical results, of 40 analyzed components 5 are sufficient to explain 87 % of the total variability. The fundamental variables to explain the morfo-structural behavior of the plants are the hei, the c and lea; and of the edaphic, the Na, the ec and the K. The plants 26,31,37,46 and 52 presented an atypical interesting behavior for a later analysis in the second part of this investigation and thus detect variant somaclonales.esEdaphicHorticultureMathematicsStatistical analysisSowingBotanybook-chapter
