Este estudo teve como objetivo,avaliar ao longo do tempo, o índice de área foliar do cafeeiro arábica, cultivar Catiguá MG-3, sob diferentes níveis e formas de parcelamentos de adubação. O cafeeiro foi plantado em maio de 2007, no espaçamento de 2,5 x 0,6 metros.O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, com três repetições, utilizando uma adaptação da análise conjunta de experimentos, com o esquema de parcelas...
Uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis) is a fruit tree of the Myrtaceae family. It has recalcitrant seeds of limited longevity, making seed propagation difficult. Micropropagation is an alternative method to obtain a large quantity of progeny plants in a short period of time, by using any part of the plant as explant. The high concentration of phenols associated with the chemical composition of the Myrtaceae, and the prese...
The use of water retention polymers may be an option for ensuring water availability during the implementation phase of the coffee plantation. The experiment was conducted at Capao dos Oleos, Coqueiral municipality, Minas Gerais, in the period from 2009 to 2011. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the water-retaining polymer which was previously hydrated for a better water supply, seeking to im...
The coffee blend of C. arabica and C. canephora species, made by roasting with the strategy of uniting the sensory characteristics of these prominent coffee are called blends. Considering the diversity of coffees that can be obtained, depending on the type of processing, in the preparation of the blends is important to consider the correct proportion of coffee to ensure both the quality of the final product. Th...
The study of water relations in coffee is of utmost importance at all stages of crop development. The aim of this study was to evaluate “pre-dawn” leaf water potential and the total average production of flowers in non-irrigated and irrigated coffee plants under different water regimes in four planting densities over a two-year period. The cultivar Rubi MG-1192 was used, planted in January 2001 in a randomized ...
This study had the objective to evaluate possible alterations induced by irrigation on a super dense coffee plantation (Coffea arabica L.), with 20 000 plants per hectare, based on values taken along seven consecutive cropping years of green coffee bean yield, bean volume per plant, dry cherry to green coffee bean ratio, and degree of maturation. The experiment was set up on January 2001 at an experimental area...
