Currently, one of the most used practices in national coffee production is skeletal pruning, to preserve productive capacity, correct plant architecture, minimize the occurrence of diseases, among others. Also, it reduces the plants diameter, exposing the soil to climatic conditions, erosion, loss of moisture and nutrients, negatively affecting the development of coffee. The use of cover plants intercropped with coffee is presented as a technique to avoid and minimize these problems. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of cover crops on the chemical and physical characteristics of the soil and the skeleton coffee tree. The experiment took place at Fazenda Boa Esperança, city of Serrania, South of Minas Gerais, from October/2017 to December/2018, in randomized blocks, composed of 8 treatments with and without cover crops. Three replicates per treatment were used, totaling 24 experimental plots, each with 14 plants, being the 10 central considered useful for evaluation. The cover crops contributed to the improvement of nutrient contents in the soil, maintained a better level of humidity and milder temperatures providing a greater development to the skeletonized coffee. They also positively influence weed control, but none could suppress all plants present in the research.

The world demand for quality coffee is growing and the market is increasingly demanding for sustainable practices, leading coffee growers to search for new coffee processing processes always aiming for maximum quality. The objective of this work was to verify the benefits of using the LNF CNA – CNB enzyme complex in the postharvest process, in order to compare the results of drying time and the final beverage quality of the product. The research was carried out at Fazenda Iracema, municipality of Machado - Minas Gerais, with mechanically harvested coffees from the cultivar Mundo Novo, with 80% maturation, and the treatments were: natural and washed coffee, with and without application of enzymatic complex and drying in suspended, concrete and mixed courtyards (initially in the yard and finished in rotary dryers), the enzyme complex dosage was 1 ml CNB + 2.5 ml CNA per liter of water, applied to 60 liters of coffee. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, in a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial scheme (2- types of “washed or natural” processing; 2- with and without enzymatic application; 3 - “suspended, concrete and drying” drying forms), with 4 repetitions per treatment, totaling 48 experimental plots. The coffees were dried to 11.5% humidity and evaluated by the SCAA. It was concluded that the use of LNF (CNA - CNB) enzymatic complex in the coffee drying process did not influence the final drying time results, nor did it influence the coffee beverage aroma attributes. The drying forms directly influence the drying time.

A cafeicultura tem grande importância econômica no território nacional, entretanto, enfrenta algumas limitações no seu manejo, principalmente na sua implantação, pelo fato de comprometer todo o processo produtivo. A utilização de bioativadores de microrganismos no solo na instalação de lavouras cafeeiras gera um impacto de reciclagem de nutrientes auxiliando no aproveitamento, desenvolvimento e absorção da lavoura cafeeira. Os bioestimulantes à base de algas marinhas, enzimas e microrganismo solo, vêm sendo utilizados como uma alternativa para nutrição de plantas, pelo fato da intensa demanda de nutrientes no sistema atual de agricultura. Neste estudo, objetivou-se verificar o efeito de diferentes dosagens de bioativador de solo (Vitasoil®) na implantação de lavoura cafeeira (Catuai 144 vermelho). Foram testados uma aplicação via solo em 5 doses de 4, 6, 8,10 e 12 gramas por planta, somada a 3 aplicações de 3 gramas via foliar na mesma, para fazer a utilização da mesma ocorreu a hidratação com 100 ml de água para cada grama de produto. Aos 120 dias foram realizadas avaliações no experimento, medições da parte aérea e radicular, contagem de folhas, espessura do caule, pesagem da fração aérea e radicular verde e seca, área foliar e relação parte aérea /raiz. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso. Entre os dados analisados observou que o uso do bioativador se mostrou superior estatisticamente quando comparado à testemunha, não diferindo entre si em dosagens. O ativador de microbiota de solo (Vitasoil®) aplicado via solo e foliar em mudas de café, promoveu um melhor desenvolvimento inicial do cafeeiro sendo observado em diâmetro, peso verde e seco, número de folhas por muda, área foliar, altura de planta, comprimento de raiz e relação parte aérea/raiz.

Coffee cultivation has great socio-economic relevance in Brazil for the employment and income generation and there is currently a constant search for sustainable management techniques. Among them, we can mention the use of cover crops and soil bioactivators. However, studies relating the use of these two techniques are still incipient. Based on this, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the Penergetic® bioactivator associated with different cover crops on chemical properties of soil and coffee productivity. The experiment was carried out in a coffee field with Catuaí Vermelho cultivar IAC 144, in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme 4 (soil cover) x 2 (use or not of the Penergetic® bioactivator), consisting of control (without plant cover); oats (Avena strigosa) + forage turnip (Raphanus sativus ); oats (Avena strigosa) + forage turnip (Raphanus sativus ) + lupine (Lupinus albus) + rye (Secale cereale) + vetch (Vicia sativa); Brachiaria brizantha (Urochloa brizantha), associated or not with the use of the Penergetic® bioactivator. The experiment was conducted for 6 months and after that period, the chemical properties of soil, the nutrient contents of the coffee plants, the development of the branches and the coffee productivity were analyzed. Data were analyzed by the Scott Knott test at 5% probability. It was verified the interaction between cover crops and the use of the Penergetic® bioactivator, positively influencing soil chemical characteristics, coffee nutrition and productivity.

Coffee cultivation in Brazil is still predominantly in full sun. However, the shading technique has gained prominence to increase the sustainability and profitability of production. Coffee intercropping legumes, besides contributing to shading, act as green manure, improving soil characteristics. Thus, in this study the objective was evaluating the shading intercropping effect on the initial development of coffee trees. The experiment was carried out at Sítio Santa Felicidade, municipality of Campestre - Southern Minas Gerais. Four species of the Crotalaria genus were used and one control treatment without any intermediate species, totaling 5 treatments. The planting was carried out in 4 replicates per treatment, in a randomized block system (DBC), with 16 coffee plants per plot. The 10 central plants were used for evaluation. The variables analyzed were: seedling setting (%), plant height (cm), leaf area index (LAI), number of plagiotropic branch internodes and 50 cm from ground level (cm²), temperature (°C) and soil moisture (%). Data were statistically interpreted by variance analysis and comparisons of averages performed by the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability, using the statistical software SISVAR®. It was observed that, except seedling setting (%) wherein there was no statistical difference among treatments, the other parameters showed positive responses in intercropping with crotalaria when compared to the control, showing the beneficial effect of the use of this legume when intercropped with coffee tree.

In fabaceae, Azospirilum is used in association with Rhizobium bacteria to promote biological nitrogen fixation, making the plant tolerant to water stress and resulting in better nutrient utilization, obtaining a plant more productive and vigorousand increase roots for better nutrient uptake by the plant. However, there are no studies using coinoculation in Coffee. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of A. brasilense on the development of coffee seedlings. The experiment was carried out in Machado, southern Minas Gerais. The experimental design was completely randomized (DIC), with five treatments and nine replications, totaling 45 experimental plots. The experimental unit consisted of pots of 12 liters of capacity with a substrate composed of 70% soil and 30% of tanned manure and a coffee seedling of cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144. Treatments were composed with different doses (0, 0.75, 1.5, 2.25 and 3.0 mL) of Azospirillum brasilense inoculant from the Micro-Chemistry laboratory, Azofix®, having Ab-V5 strains, 1 x 108 cfu. mL-1 viable cells per mL. From stage V7, the seedlings received eight applications with a seven-day interval. The applying was done in the late afternoon, under favorable environmental conditions, using a hand sprayer. Evaluations were performed 150 days after the first application. The variables evaluated were shoot height (ALT) (cm); shoot fresh matter (MFPA) (g); root fresh matter (MFR) (g); leaf fresh matter (MFF) (g); stem diameter (DIA)(mm) and pivoting root length (CRP) (cm). It is concluded that the inoculation of coffee seedlings with bacteria of the species Azospirillum brasilense promotes greater growth of the pivoting root as well as the fresh matter of the whole root system of coffee seedlings.

One of the alternatives to increase productivity and without harming the environment is the use of green cover associated with soil bioactivators. However, there are still incipient studies reporting the association influence of these two techniques on soil quality. In this sense, the aim in this work was to evaluate the Penergetic ® bioactivator effect associated to different cover plants on the physical and biological characteristics of the soil cultivated with coffee tree. The experiment was carried out in a coffee field with Catuaí Vermelho cultivar IAC 144, in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme 4 x 2, consisting of control (without plant cover); oats (Avena strigosa) + forage turnip (Raphanus sativus); oats (Avena strigosa) + forage turnip (Raphanus sativus L) + lupine (Lupinus albus) + rye (Secale cereale) + vetch (Vicia sativa) (OFLRV); Brachiaria brizantha (Urochloa brizantha), associated or not with the Penergetic ® bioactivator use. The experiment was conducted for 6 months and after that period physical and biological soil characteristics were analyzed. The data were submitted to variance analysis and the means of treatment were grouped by the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. The treatments containing cover plants had lower temperature and greater water retention. The bioactivator use reduced the nematodes population from the Meloidogyne genus and when associated to the cover plants showed increased the density of diazotrophic bacteria and solubilizers of phosphorus and potassium.

Coffee quality refers to various methods used in farming, selective harvesting that assist in quality preservation and drying methods to be performed. Some drying methods that are being performed fermentation procedures have helped in obtaining specialty coffees. The objective of the research was to evaluate the effects of controlled natural fermentation of coffee through the temperature and time and its influence on the quality of coffee, according to the prescribed attributes in SCAA methodology, the type of coffee drink and time for drying grain. The research was carried out at Lavrinha farm, located at Poço Fundo (south of Minas Gerais), with coffee fruits of Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 cultivar and selective and manual harvesting. The treatments with temperature-controlled fermentation of 30 and 40 °C (1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 hours) and the control treatment were used with three replications in a randomized block system (DBC) in a factorial scheme. After fermentation, the batches were dried to 11.5% humidity and evaluated according to the SCAA (2015) methodology. The natural fermentation induced by temperature (°C) and time (hours) directly influenced the drink quality, resulting in a coffee with a score of 82 to 84 points, with attribute aggregation and special classification. Natural fermentation with temperature up to 40 °C and time control of 3 ,1 and 24 hours resulted in an improvement in coffee quality by 84 points.
