Weed management is one of the main and most problematic cultural practices used in coffee plantations. Slow growth, broad spacing associated with scarce registered products for weed control at an early crop stage, are the main problems faced by producers. Therefore, it is desirable for new herbicide molecules to be registered for this crop, as is the recent case of indaziflam. This study aimed to know the influence of indaziflam on the morphological characteristics of coffee plants and to propose alternatives to reduce its effects on plants. Therefore, the effects of this herbicide on two arabica coffee cultivars were studied, as well as the association of this herbicide with protection of the seedling collar (PVC pipes and bovine manure). Controls on weeds, possible injury on seedlings and effects on the main morphological characteristics of coffee plants were evaluated. Although treatments with the use of indaziflam cause intoxication in the seedlings, a reduction in plant damage was observed over time, and the damage was insignificant. In general, it was observed that cultivar IBC 12 suffered minor injuries, but it is more sensitive to the presence of indaziflam, since it presented greater damage in the morphological variables. The use of manure with the PVC pipe can be an alternative to reduce the effects of this herbicide, as it reduced the effects of the product on the root system of this cultivar. It is concluded that the application of indaziflam causes mild symptoms in coffee plants independent of the planted cultivar. Indaziflam causes reduction in seedling morphology, and this effect is dependent on the cultivar used. The use of manure associated to the PVC pipe can be an alternative to reduce the effects of indaziflam, mainly in the root system of coffee plants.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Fassio, Larissa de Oliveira; Pereira, Rosemary Gualberto Fonseca Alvarenga; Malta, Marcelo Ribeiro; Liska, Gilberto Rodrigues; Sousa, Maísa Mancini Matioli; Carvalho, Gladyston Rodrigues; Pereira, Antônio Alves
This study was developed to determine the beverage quality and the sensory profile of Coffea arabica accesses of the Germplasm Collection of Minas Gerais State in two consecutive harvests. Mature coffee fruits from 49 accesses were selectively harvested in the 2015 and 2016 harvests, and after processing and drying they were sensorially evaluated by a team of trained judges in accordance to the protocols of the Specialty Coffee Association. The data were analyzed by Principal Component Analysis, Cluster Hierarchical Analysis, and Content Analysis. The year of harvest influences the scores of the sensory attributes of the beverage of some coffee accesses. The access 27 (Pacamara) stood out with the highest sensory score seen in the first year of harvest. The accesses 36 (Timor Hybrid UFV376-52) and 43 (BE5 WushWush) stood out for the final sensory score in the two years of evaluation. All accesses belonging to the Timor Hybrid Germplasm stood out in the beverage quality in the second year of harvest. A total of 139 sensory attribute descriptors were identified, and the content analysis showed different levels for the frequency of terms in each access group formed as a function of quality. The Germplasm Collection of Minas Gerais has a wide variability for the production of superior quality coffees, and the year of harvest influences to a greater or lesser degree the potential of quality of the accesses.
The effect of gravity-drip filtration methods on the chemical and sensorial properties of coffee (Coffea arabica L. var. Castillo)
(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Zapata, Angela María Ormaza; Arango, Félix Octavio Díaz; Rojano, Benjamín Alberto
Coffee prepared via gravity-drip filtration is an alternative to obtain varied sensorial profiles and determine the acidity, bitterness, and body thereof. In the present study, the retention of certain bioactive components was determined, as was the antioxidant activity and cup profiles for coffee beverages prepared by way of seven different gravity-drip filtration methods. The methods which registered the greatest bioactive metabolite retention were the Vietnamese, Clever, and RS 16 methods. The greatest hydroxycinnamic acid content was obtained with the Clever, Yama, Vietnamese, and V60 methods, in descending order. Antioxidant capacity was proportional to the retention of bioactive components, by way of ABTS and ORAC techniques, in the beverages prepared. The V60 and V60 Kalita methods retained the lowest amounts these compounds and their activity. The most predominant hydroxycinnamic acid in the seven evaluated preparations was chlorogenic acid. In accordance with consumer preferences, which seek functional food, it is recommended that coffee be consumed using the Clever or Vietnamese preparation methods, which present fuller body and enhanced bitter notes. In their absence, the RS 16 method is suggested, which presents a sensorial profile identical to that of the U.G.Q. pattern, with less intensity of bitterness.

Weed control is fundamental in coffee cultivation due to their big interference, competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients. Among the control methods used, chemical control is highlighted, as a function of its high efficiency and low cost. However, due to application failures, herbicide drift phytotoxicity is common. Aiming at the search for selective active ingredients in coffee plants, the objective in this study was to evaluate the selectivity of the active ingredient Fluazifop- p-butyl on the young coffee plants, and its effects on plant morphology, anatomy and physiology. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, with ‘Topázio MG 1190’ coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.), cultivated in pots with a capacity of 11 L substrate. The statistical design was randomized block design (RBD), with four replications and four doses of the herbicide, making up 16 experimental plots. Each plot consisted of three plants. The treatments were: 0%; 50%; 100% and 200% of the recommended commercial dose of the herbicide Fluazifop-p-butyl. The evaluations were performed at 120 days after application of the treatments. Morphological, physiological and anatomical characteristics were evaluated. Regardless of the evaluated characteristic, there was no difference between the doses of the herbicide. There were no visual phytotoxicity symptoms in the young coffee plants that received the herbicide Fluazifop-p-butyl. The growth of the coffee plants and the physiological and anatomical characteristics were not altered due to the application of the herbicide Fluazifop-p-butyl.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Veiga, Adriano Delly; Rodrigues, Gustavo Costa; Rocha, Omar Cruz; Bartholo, Gabriel Ferreira; Guerra, Antônio Fernando; Silva, Thiago Paulo da
Phenotypic characterization of coffee cultivars under an irrigation system, as well as adaptability to controlled water stress, aiming at flowering uniformity, high yield and grain quality, plays an important role in coffee production in the cerrado areas. A field trial was carried out aiming to evaluate the agronomic performance of arabica coffee cultivars under different water regimes, using center pivot irrigation: irrigation throughout the year (WR1); suspended at the end of June for 40 days until leaf water potential reached -1.5 MPa (WR2); suspended at the end of June for 70 days until leaf water potential reached -2.3 MPa (WR3); suspended at the end of June for 100 days until leaf water potential reached -3.4 MPa (WR4); and a non-irrigated regime (WR5). The following traits were analyzed: plant height, stem diameter, canopy projection, number of plagiotropic branches, coffee grain yield, percentage of fruit in the cherry stage, and sieve retention percentages. Higher yield, plant growth, and percentage of fruit in the cherry stage are observed in the water regime with seventy days of controlled water stress (WR3). The Obatã IAC 1669-20 cultivar exhibits high yield and plant growth values in an irrigated system, and Catuaí Amarelo IAC 86 stands out in the non-irrigated system. For these genotypes, the coffee grain yield is most highly correlated with number of reproductive branches.

The ecophysiological parameters of coffee canopy were mapped throughout the day. Therefore, evaluations were carried out in ‘Catuaí Vermelho’ Coffea arabica L., measuring 1.7 meters. A vertical gradient (from the apex to the base of the plant canopy) and a horizontal gradient (plagiotropic branches) were established to analyze different positions of the canopy. Thus, in the vertical direction, four heights were analyzed in the plant: top, upper, middle and lower regions. In the horizontal gradient, the plagiotropic branches were divided into three parts: basal, median and apical. Collection was performed on the east and west sides of the canopy, at four times of the day: 6 a.m., 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m., totaling 24 collection points at each time. Gas exchange, photosynthetically active radiation and leaf temperature were evaluated in each of the 24 points of the coffee canopy. The gas exchange characteristics of an individual coffee leaf diverge considerably from other leaves, which require caution when scaling estimates of leaf photosynthesis at the global canopy level. The analysis of some punctual leaves does not serve to discriminate the overall dynamics of a canopy.
Initial stages of infectious process of Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae in coffee leaves
(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Souza, José Otávio Gusmão de; Pozza, Edson Ampélio; Belan, Leônidas Leoni; Freitas, Marcelo Loran de Oliveira; Oliveira, Júlia Marques
Bacterial blight of coffee (Pseudomonas syringae pv. garcae) (PSG) has been causing damage and losses to coffee growing. However, initial stages of the infectious process should be described in order to understand the relationship cycle and to propose efficient management strategies. This study described the initial stages of infectious process of the PSG in coffee leaves over time. The bacterial penetration sites studied were stomata, leaf margins, and wounds. Coffee seedlings received 50μL inoculum suspension at marked points on the abaxial face and leaf margins, and around wounds. By 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, and 12 hours after inoculation, leaf disks collected at inoculated points were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy. One hour after inoculation, bacterial groups could be seen as result of cell multiplication. Subsequently, the number of grouped bacteria increased proportionally over time. A growing population concentration was found near stomata, wounds, epidermal appendages, and wax layer on leaf margins and leaf tip. From these places bacteria were positioned in their long axis starting from structures, thus created a population gradient and displacement flow toward penetration sites. Initial stages of infectious process occurred in all penetration sites, thus it was not possible to determine a preferred pathway.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Mantovani, José Ricardo; Lima, José Antônio; Garcia, Ciro Pozzi; Rezende, Tiago Teruel
In soil sampling, the collection site and the tool used may induce errors that can compromise the results of the chemical analysis and, consequently, the definition of corrective and fertilizer doses. The objective in this study was to evaluate soil sampling sites and tools in a coffee growing area. The experiment was carried out in a field in the municipality of Alfenas-MG, in a 35-year coffee field. A randomized block design was used in a 3 x 5 factorial scheme and 4 replications, totaling 60 experimental units. The treatments consisted of 3 sampling sites: in the fertilizer strip (located in the projection of the plant canopy); between rows; and in the total area, with 1/3 of the samples collected under the canopy and close to the plant stem, 1/3 in the canopy projection and 1/3 collected between rows; and 5 sampling tools: Dutch auger; screw auger; probe; hoe and drill. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0 to 0.2 m, and each composite sample was obtained by assembling and mixing 20 single samples. At each sampling point, an area of 2m 2 was delimited, in which simple samples were collected in all the evaluated places and with all the tools used. The following parameters were determined in the soil samples: pH in CaCl 2 ; potential acidity (H+Al); organic matter; P, extracted by Mehlich; K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and base saturation. In a coffee-growing area, the fertilizer strip (canopy projection) has topsoil with higher acidity and lower contents of organic matter and nutrients P, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ than between rows. The tools used for soil sampling do not influence the results of soil chemical analysis in the coffee-growing area.
Yield of Coffea arabica grafted onto Coffea canephora in soils infested with nematodes in Mexico
(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) López-García, Francisco Javier; Cruz-Castillo, Juan Guillermo
The total of three consecutive years of fruit production was evaluated in six coffee cultivars (Coffea arabica L.) propagated by seed and grafted onto Robusta (Coffea canephora var. Robusta). The plantations were established at 640 m, 920 m, and 1340 m altitude in the central region of the Veracruz State, Mexico. The coffea plants were established in soils naturally infested with nematodes. Grafted plants had higher production than those propagated by seed. Fruit production was higher at 640 m and 920 m than at 1340 m for the two types of propagation. The cultivars Colombia Brote Café and Colombia Brote Verde had the highest fruit yield regardless of the propagation methods; in contrast, Pacamara, had the lowest. The grafted coffee plants that were planted at 1340 m had a yield reduction of 27% in comparison with those at 640 and 920 m. When the Costa Rica 95 variety was grafted, it achieved fruit yield similar to Colombia Brote Verde and Colombia Brote Café. Pacamara produced almost 28% more fruit when it was grafted onto Robusta.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Chalfoun, Sara Maria; Angélico, Caroline Lima; Resende, Mário Lúcio Vilela de; Moraes, Graziella Evaristo de
The dependence on chemical fertilizers for the future of agriculture will result in additional soil health losses, possibility of water contamination and continued currency avoidance due to the increasing dependence on imports. The indiscriminate use of synthetic fertilizers has polluted the soil and watersheds, destroying useful microorganisms and insects, what makes crops more susceptible to diseases. Considering this critical scenario, microorganisms have stood out as a potential alternative for maintaining the productivity, reliability and sustainability of the global food chain. In order to increase the productivity and/or reduce the amount of fertilizers, as well as to meet the requirements for the use of low-solubility phosphorus sources, microorganisms were isolated from the rhizosphere and artificially cultivated. Subsequently, they were selected regarding their potential for solubilizing phosphorus and incorporated into a low-cost matrix. A microbial inoculant was thus developed and tested in a coffee crop. It was possible to formulate an inoculant based on an isolate selected from Aspergillus niger, using an inactivated seed and sodium alginate as matrices. It was also observed that there was a greater correlation between the evaluated parameters and increasing doses of the inoculants when Araxá apatite was used as source of phosphorus, proving the importance of the inoculants as release factors and availability of phosphorus in the case of sources less soluble, giving Brazilian agriculture greater autonomy in the input market.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Santini, Paula Tristão; Almeida, Lorena Gabriela; Souza, Kamila Rezende Dázio de; Barbosa, João Paulo Rodrigues Alves Delfino; Alves, José Donizeti
The spatial variability of the total chlorophyll content and carotenoids content, starch and soluble sugars of coffee canopy were mapped throughout the day. Therefore, evaluations were carried out in a ‘Catuaí Vermelho’ coffee plant with 1.7 meters height. A vertical gradient (from the apex to the base of the plant canopy) and a horizontal gradient (plagiotropic branches) were established to analyze different positions of the canopy. Thus, in the vertical direction, four heights were analyzed in the plant: top, upper, middle and lower regions. In the horizontal gradient, the plagiotropic branches were divided into three parts: basal, median and apical. Collection of leaf samples was performed on the east and west sides of the canopy, at 9 a.m., totaling 24 collection points at each time. Higher content of photosynthetic pigments and concentration of sugars were observed in the western face and in the inner parts of the coffee tree. The content of chloroplast pigments and sugars of an individual coffee leaf diverge considerably from other leaves, which requires caution when scaling estimates at the global canopy level. The analysis of some punctual leaves does not serve to discriminate the overall dynamics of a canopy.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Pucci, Laís Franchini; Fukada, Paulo Massaharu; Pereira, Gustavo Antônio Mendes; Alves, Deivide Patrik; Gomes, Carolina Alves; Reis, Marcelo Rodrigues dos
Weed management in the pre-transplantation of coffee plants is an essential condition for the future success of the crop. Currently, the producer has few options to perform chemical management at this stage. Therefore, one of the solutions that is being used is the tank mixing of products proven efficient with new products on the market, such as indaziflam. The objective of this study is to know the selectivity of indaziflam, associated or not with oxyfluorfen, in coffee pre-planting and its effectiveness in weed control. Thus, the following treatments were tested in the field: indaziflam (25 g ha -1 a.i.), indaziflam (50 g ha -1 a.i.), oxyfluorfen (960 g ha -1 a.i.), indaziflam (25 g ha -1 a.i.) + oxyfluorfen (960 g ha -1 a.i.), indaziflam (50 g ha -1 a.i.) + oxyfluorfen (960 g ha -1 a.i.), plus a weeded and a non-weeded control. All treatments caused low intoxication in the seedlings, but without impairing the development and morphological variables of the plants. The treatments were efficient in controlling the species Bidens pilosa L., Commelina benghalensis L., Urochloa decumbens, Emilia fosbergii and Melampodium perfoliatum until 68 days after application. At 104 days, it was observed that there was a reduction in the efficiency of the products. It is concluded that the associated use of indaziflam and oxyfluorfen does not cause intoxications capable of interfering with the development of coffee plants. The association of these herbicides or their isolated applications is efficient in the control of weeds in the pre-transplantation of coffee plants, and the choice of the best management strategy is dependent on the weed community present in each area.
Effects of shade trees spatial distribution and species on photosynthetic rate of coffee trees
(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Silva Neto, Francisco José da; Bonfanti, Leila; Gazaffi, Rodrigo; Fontanetti, Anastácia
The use of shade trees in coffee fields have been motivated by climatic changes. However, microclimatic conditions in shaded coffee fields differ due to shade tree spatial distribution and species, altering physiological responses of coffee trees. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of shade tree spatial distribution and species on coffee trees photosynthetic rate in two growth seasons, of high (HSD) and low (LSD) sink demand. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with three replicates in split-split-plots. Plots were the shade tree species: Anadenanthera falcata, Cassia grandis and Peltophorum dubium. Split plot was formed by five distances between coffee trees and shade tree trunks: coffee trees on planting row of shade trees, distancing one (D1L) and five (D5L) meters from shade trees trunk; coffee trees on inter-rows of shade trees, parallel to D1L and D5L (D1E and D5E); coffee trees distancing 77 meters from shade tree trunks, in a full-sun field (PS). The split-split-plots correspond to coffee tree canopy exposure to the sun: branches facing North or South. Shade trees canopy density and occupation was evaluated with a convex densiometer. Photosynthetic rate (P n )and photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) were measured with an Infrared Gas Analyzer (IRGA) on two time-frames, between 7.00 and 9.00 solar hours and between 11.00 and 13.00. Shade tree canopy density and occupation was not homogenous during the change of seasons and shift due to spatial distribution, which also changes PAR levels. Shade trees reduce PAR to more suitable values for coffee tree exploitation, especially on D1L and D5L. During HSD, shading did not affect P n , which was greater in branches facing North. Yet, in LSD, between 11.00 and 13.00, coffee trees shaded with A. falcata showed greater P n than at PS. Coffee trees shaded with C. grandis at D5L and D1E had greater values of P n than PS.
Evaluation of probiotic microencapsulation in a prebiotic mixture with coffee extract
(Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Zapata, Angela María Ormaza; Arango, Félix Octavio Díaz; Rodríguez-Barona, Sneyder
The objective in the present study was to evaluate coffee extract as an encapsulant material, when mixed with prebiotic carbohydrates, in order to obtain a coffee-based, non-dairy probiotic beverage. Six coffee extract formulations were evaluated with maltodextrin and inulin, in various proportions, for the obtaining of microcapsules with the probiotic strain L. casei ATCC 393, by way of spray drying. The best formulations encountered were MD-INU:EXT (50:50) and EXT:Water (50:50), which were spray dried, for increased viability, elevated wettability and solubility, low hygroscopicity, and adequate morphology for this type of powdered product. The formulation was composed of maltodextrin, inulin, and coffee extract, and MD-INU:EXT (50:50) presented the best physicochemical and viability characteristics. The potential of coffee extract was proven as a wall material in microencapsulated, non-dairy, highly acidic, probiotic products. Optimal viability was achieved, in the order of 1x106 CFU/mL, for both selected formulations, which maintained functional potential for up to 11 weeks of storage.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-07-03) Ramos, Bárbara Zini; Lima, José Maria de; Serafim, Milson Evaldo; Coscione, Aline Renée; Ferraz, Raul Magalhães; Amorim, Lucas Mota; Lopes, Guilherme
The cultivation of coffe crops in Brazil, especially on Latosols, has been increasing over the years, despite limitations such as aluminum toxicity, low fertility and very long drought periods. In this scenario, soil amendments to mitigate these restraints are necessary. Since these limitations are not restricted to the arable layer, application of gypsum becomes an efficient alternative to sustain soil fertility and deepen the root system to get water from the deeper layers of soil. However, high doses of gypsum can cause unbalance among Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and K + . The objective of this work was to evaluate these bases as well as their ionic pairs, and the presence of sulfate along the soil profile 16 months after the application of high gypsum doses in a Latosol under coffee crops. An inicial dose of gypsum was applied in the entire area, followed by four treatments, in triplicate and randomized blocks, set as follows: G0 - zero gypsum applied over the planting line after the initial soil preparation; G7- 7 t ha -1 of gypsum in the planting line (1.75 kg m -1 ); G56 - 56 t ha -1 of gypsum in the planting line (14 kg m -1 ), all with brachiaria between the coffee planting lines; and CV7 - 7 t ha -1 of gypsum in the line and no brachiaria between the planting lines. The soil profile was sampled in layers up to 2.40 m depth and the soil solution was extracted by suctioning the sample-saturated paste. Following this extraction, the soil solution was analyzed by combustion for total carbon contents, ion chromatography and ICP-OES/flame photometry, for chemical species, and speciation was done using Minteq software. After 16 months of gypsum application, 96% of K + in soil solution was at 0.35 to 0.45 m in its free form. Leaching of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ occurred predominantly in their free forms, although a more significant contribution of CaSO 40 and MgSO 40 ionic pairs was observed when compared to K 2 SO 40.
