Abstract
⺠We studied the relationship between vegetative vigor and bean yields in cocoa. ⺠Families with rapid increase in vigor prior to bearing have large cumulative yields. ⺠Tree size during bearing age is correlated with yield but not with yield efficiency. ⺠Yield efficiency is additively inherited in cocoa. ⺠Early selection for seedling vigor and precocity can identify productive varieties.
