Use of ethrel on the mechanized and selective coffee (Coffea arabica L.) harvest
Silva, Fábio Moreira da; Arré, Tadeu Jorge; Tourino, Ely de Souza; Gomes, Túlio Seabra; Alves, Marcelo de CarvalhoEthrel is a physiological maturation accelerator, which has been applied to coffee crops through wet solution for fruit maturation standardization, acting as an accelerator, anticipating and increasing the efficiency of the coffee harvest. This work was conducted at Palmito farm, located in Boa Esperança city, south of Minas Gerais, on the Mundo Novo cultivar. The application of Ethrel was conducted in 30 plant...
Evaluation of mechanized coffee (Coffea arabica L.) harvest with Ethephon use
Silva, Fábio Moreira da; Souza, Zigomar Menezes de; Arré, Tadeu Jorge; Juan, Rodolfo San; Oliveira, Ezequiel deCoffee harvest mechanization has spread and has become an irreversible process. However, maturation non uniformity is a limiting factor for both mechanical and hand harvesting, because it reduces operational performance and coffee bean quality. Therefore, this work had as objective to study the performance of mechanized harvest on coffee plantations treated with Ethephon, as well as, to evaluate the influ...
