The management of perennial crops could encourage the improvement of the soil, making it more productive, provided that appropriate agronomic practices are adopted. In order to evaluate the structure of a Cerrado Latosol subjected to soil management that adopts the use of high doses of gypsum and brachiaria on the coffee plants interrow, we studied the stability of aggregates and total soil organic carbon after...
The aim of this research was to evaluate the yield and other agronomic characteristics of coffee progenies with specific resistance to rust. An experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of MAPA/Fundação Procafé (MAPA/ProCoffee Foundation) in Varginha, MG, Brazil. The experiment was set up in January 2003 in a randomized complete block design with 12 progenies and two cultivars, five replicates and fou...
Amparado pelo melhoramento genético e a evolução dos tratos culturais, entre outros aspectos, a cafeicultura no Brasil se expandiu para a região do Cerrado, superando as limitações de déficit hídrico e a baixa fertilidade natural dos solos desta região. A evolução dos sistemas produtivos tem sido uma constante, visando aumentar os rendimentos sob a ótica da nova ordem de conservação dos recursos naturais. Com e...
