description The propagation of plant material in the cultivation of arracacha is commonly carried out vegetatively through asexual seed, this activity has allowed its multiplication and conservation over time. The plant material available is of low quality, affecting the development and potential yield of the crop and therefore the income of the producer. The objective of the research was to comparatively analyze two arracacha seed production technologies: Local technology and Agrosavia technology. The information for local technology was obtained from surveys applied to farmers and the selection was made through the deterministic sampling technique, and for the Agrosavia technology data and production costs were recorded in research lots on a commercial scale. Descriptive statistics and calculation of the economic return indicators were applied for the two situations. The results show that the use of quality seed allows obtaining a higher production of seeds (251,559 unit ha-1) and tuberous roots (25,875 kg ha-1), being superior to local technology by 14% and 28%, respectively. Thus, the arracacha producer acquires greater economic efficiency by obtaining a lower unit cost per kilo produced and a better net income with a marginal rate of return of 316.45. The results achieved are useful for producers, companies, and entities that wish to produce quality seed and support the production system of arracacha in Colombia.

La propagación de material vegetal en el cultivo de arracacha se realiza comúnmente de forma vegetativa a través de semilla asexual, esta actividad ha permitido su multiplicación y conservación en el tiempo. El material vegetal disponible es de baja calidad, afectando el desarrollo y rendimiento potencial del cultivo y por ende los ingresos del productor. El objetivo de la investigación fue el de analizar comparativamente dos tecnologías de producción de semilla de arracacha: Tecnología local y tecnología Agrosavia. La información para la tecnología local se obtuvo de encuestas aplicadas a los agricultores y la selección se hizo mediante la técnica de muestreo determinístico y para la tecnología Agrosavia a través de registro de datos y costos de producción en lotes de investigación a escala comercial. Se aplicaron estadísticas descriptivas y cálculo de los indicadores de retorno económico para las dos situaciones. Los resultados muestran que el uso de semilla de calidad permite obtener mayor producción de semillas (251.559 unidad ha-1) y raíces tuberosas (25.875 kg ha-1), siendo superior a la tecnología local en 14% y 28% respectivamente; de esta forma, el productor de arracacha adquiere mayor eficiencia económica al obtener menor costo unitario por kilo producido y mejor ingreso neto con una tasa de retorno marginal de 316,45. Los resultados alcanzados son de utilidad para agricultores, empresas y entidades que deseen producir semilla de calidad y apoyen el sistema productivo de arracacha en Colombia.
