description Background and aims: The introduction of the Euroasiatic fruit trees from the Rosacea’s botanical family in northwestern Argentina during the Colonial period, gave rise to processes of cultural selection and diversification, being recognized as their own crops by the local communities that inhabit the Quebrada de Humahuaca. The objective of this work is to present the diversity of ethno-varieties "apple" (Malus domestica), their uses and the locally perceived attributes that are used for their differentiation in the community of Ocumazo (Department of Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentine). M&M: The ethnobotanical methodology, mainly qualitative, is what allowed the development of this work, which was carried out between 2016-2018. Results: The producers interviewed (28) establish the presence of (15) ethno-varieties of "apples" used in food and for the production of products often marketed locally. The fruit is the main vegetal organ cited to define the criteria or cultural descriptors used for the differentiation of the ethno-varieties. Conclusion: The use, the way of selection, conservation, its consideration as part of the diversity of "Andean fruits" and the presence in different religious and celebration instances, define the relevant role of this crop of Eurasian origin for the local population, which allows to promote the conservation of main economic activities such as agriculture and its food autonomy.

Introducción y objetivos: La introducción de los frutales Euroasiáticos de la familia botánica de las Rosáceas en el noroeste argentino durante el periodo Colonial, dio lugar a procesos de selección cultural y diversificación, siendo reconocidos como cultivos propios por las comunidades locales que habitan en la Quebrada de Humahuaca. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la diversidad de etnovariedades de “manzanas” (Malus domestica), sus usos y los atributos localmente percibidos que se emplean para su diferenciación en la comunidad de Ocumazo (Departamento de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina). M&M: La metodología etnobotánica, principalmente de corte cualitativo es la que permitió el desarrollo de este trabajo, el cual se llevó a cabo entre el año 2016-2018. Resultados: Los productores entrevistados (28) establecen la presencia de (15) etnovariedades de “manzana” empleadas en alimentación y para la elaboración de productos muchas veces comercializados localmente. El fruto es el principal órgano vegetal citado para definir los criterios o descriptores culturales empleados para la diferenciación de las etnovariedades. Conclusiones: El uso, la forma de selección, conservación, su consideración como parte de la diversidad de frutas andinas y la presencia en distintas instancias religiosas y de celebración, definen el papel relevante de este cultivo introducido para el poblador local, que a su vez le permite promover la conservación de actividades económicas principales como las agrícolas y su autonomía alimentaria.
