Brazil is known for production and worldwide export of coffees. Study of adaptation of new progenies/cultivars of Arabica coffee (C. arabica L.) with resistance to rust in mountainous edaphoclimatic conditions is important for crop renewal and also for new plantations. This study was performed in the mountainous region of the Espírito Santo state, Brazil, with 30 progenies/cultivars of Arabica coffee planted at...
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...
This work assessed the field performance of compact growth coffee progenies developed by the MAPA/Procafé Foundation breeding program. An experiment was set up at the Procafé Foundation’s Experimental Station in Varginha, Minas Gerais state, using 20 progenies, 16 of which with leaf rust resistance. The evaluations began two and a half years after planting using four repetitions, totalizing ...
