Agave varieties were identified in 11 classes of peasant lands in Tepetlaoxtoc de Hidalgo, State of Mexico; as well as; its morphological characterization of what are popularly known as magueyes pulqueros; through the analysis of clusters and the main component. 7 varieties were found: Manso (Agave salmiana Otto ex Salm.), Verde (Agave americana L.), Ayoteco (Agave salmiana Otto ex Salm.), Carrizo (Agave mapisaga Trel.) and Pua larga (Agave sp.). The varieties of maguey Manso and Verde are found in all classes of peasant lands, inducing that all evaluated individuals are phenotypically similar or closely related, in contrast, the Pua larga was found only in three classes of land. The Ayoteco and Carrizo varieties were found in five soil classes, both with phenotypic characteristics closely related to the maguey Manso. The greatest morphological development was found in the yellow soil class, where the maguey Verde, Pua larga, Carrizo and Ayoteco obtained their best development in crown diameter and height. The maguey Manso had a crown diameter (distance between leaf and open leaf) of between 1.15 to 3.5 m and a height of 1.2 at 2.8 m. In contrast, the Carrizo presented 1.7 to 2.37 m in crown diameter and a height of 1.23 to 2.1 m respectively. The farmers of Tepetlaoxtoc have conserved this diversity of varieties of maguey pulquero due to the diversity of multiple uses that they provide and continue in their domestication process, influencing their morphology.
