Description:	Conilon coffee belongs to the Coffea canephora species, which is a diploid (2n = 2 × = 22), perennial, allogamous plant with a high genetic variability. Consequently, a plantation established from seeds will likely have plants with highly diversified characteristics. Accordingly, the production of cuttings is of great value for the success of crop implementation. Using clones produced from superior genotypes instead of seeds has some advantages such as lower implementation costs, higher productivity, higher uniformity of maturation, better grain quality, differentiated cycle of maturation and staggered harvest scheduling. Brazil is an important coffee producer, and the development of new varieties is important to maintain or even increase its production.
