Theobroma cacao L. is a species that extends throughout the humid tropics, where ofttimes it is cultivated in a traditional way in agroforestry systems. Native from South America, cocoa fruit is considered a significant biocultural-resource since its economical importance as well as historical context are related to pre-Hispanic cultures. Nowadays, Theobroma cacao is one of the most consumed commodity goods. This research mainly consisted in the establishment of an experimental cultivation plot using four clonal varieties of cocoa treated with edaphic bacterial inoculants as biofertilizers and conventional chemical fertilizers. The work was carried out in an experimental plot located in the community of Cerro Camarón, municipality of San Pedro Ixcatlán Oaxaca, Mexico. The experimental design consisted of two blocks differently oriented (north and south).Under the studied conditions, the cocoa variety that showed a better performance with fertilization treatments was INIFAP 9. Plants subject to bacterial inoculants showed greater growth regarding height and basal diameter. The aim of this study was to determine the ecomorphological response of cocoa plants underagroforestry system conditions, with the application of two different fertilization treatments.
