This study aims to evaluate the effects of different doses of potassium (K) on the growth of the clonal seedlings of Coffea canephora in a clonal garden. The mother plants of C. canephora coffee of the Robusta botanical variety in the clonal garden system from the Pl...
The characterization of variability in the sensory profile of Coffea canephora is essential for the coffee industry, as it supports the selection of plants with favorable quality attributes. This study aimed to evaluate beverage quality and quantify variability among the most widely cul...
Coffee cultivation in the Western Amazon is based on Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner clones with limited nutritional characterization. This study aimed to quantify the genetic variability in leaf mineral concentrations among 64 widely cultivated genotypes. The experiment was conducted ...
Expanding Coffea canephora cultivation to transitional altitudes offers a promising strategy to sustain coffee production under climate change. This study evaluated 27 genotypes cultivated under two water management regimes (fully and minimally irrigated) at 650 m altitude in Espírito Santo, Braz...
Agricultural research helps us to reduce the risks associated with climate variability, pests and diseases, market fluctuations, and biennial bearing. However, genotype characterization is often conducted independently of economic performance and yield stability, limiting the identification of genotypes th...
O experimento foi instalado na Fazenda Experimental da EPAMIG em Machado, sul de Minas Gerais, em 1992, com o objetivo de avaliar as conseqüências da redução de espaçamentos entre as linhas e entre as plantas na linha de plantio sobre a produção do cafeeiro. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi um fatorial 4 x 3 com parcela subdividida, sendo quatro distâncias entre as linhas (2,0; 2,5; 3,0 e 3,5 m) e três distâncias entre as plantas na linha de plantio (0,5; 0,75; 1,0 m), totalizando 12...
Abstract: Climate variability poses major challenges to coffee production, particularly due to the increasing frequency and intensity of drought events. Understanding the physiological acclimation capacity of Coffea arabica genotypes to water deficit is critical for developing resilient cultivars. We ...
ABSTRACT – The objective of this work was to investigate the use of Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) for the genomic prediction of rust resistance in Coffea arabica. With the objective of identifying an effective predictive model for the selection of resistant genotypes, ELM was...
Coffee is the second most important agricultural exportation product in Brazil, constituting one of the main income sources of the Brazilian economy. The state of Minas Gerais is the country’s biggest coffee producer. Recently, coffee produced in the state won national specialty contest...
Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are powerful tools which can be combined and used for various agricultural and environmental purposes. The NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), derived from images of the MODIS sensor of the TERRA satellite, is used to es...
