Under the influence of strong environmental and genetic factors, the dynamics of pod production by different cacao clones vary considerably between and within years. By exploiting this diversity, it is possible to select and combine the most productive clones, considering their overall capacity to yield healthy pods or to produce during the most favorable times of the year.
