Adaptability and stability of Coffea arabica lines in the Western Amazon
(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Souza, Carolina Augusto de; Teixeira, Alexsandro Lara; Torres, Josemar Dávila; Silva, Camila Andrade; Espindula, Marcelo Curitiba; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros
Growing Coffea arabica in regions of the Western Amazon is limited by early maturation and by its limited adaptation to regions of low altitude and high temperature. The aim in this study was to quantify the genotype × environment interaction of C. arabica lines in four different environments of the Western Amazon, seeking to assist selection of new lines with greater adaptability and stability for the region. In the months of December 2012 and January 2013, four competitive trials were set up in municipalities of the states of Rondônia and Acre. Each trial was composed of 21 lines and 4 reference cultivars evaluated as controls recommended for planting in the southeast region. In combined analysis, significant differences were not detected between the cultivars and controls; the mean yield of hulled coffee was 12.05 bags ha -1 . The Alta Floresta Do Oeste environment has higher yield and is the only environment favorable for growing C. arabica; that environment is differentiated from the others through its higher altitudes and low temperatures. Through GGE biplot analyses, lines 12 and 13, identified as H514-7-10-6-9 and H514-7-10-6-2-3-9, were found to have results superior to the controls in the municipality of Alta Floresta Do Oeste, RO. The gain from selection of 56% obtained from line G12 and the gain of 46% obtained from line G13 show performance superior to the best control. The germplasm studied does not have genetic variability that contributes to selection of plants for adaptation to the low altitude and high temperatures in the amazonic region.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Tolardo, Alex Lavado; Alves, Gleina Costa Silva; Silva, Gustavo Ferreira da; Pereira, Wellington José; Silva, Débora Zacarias da; Silva, Samuel Afonso Sampaio
Meloidogyne exigua is one of the most found species of nematodes in coffee plantations in the Brazilian Cerrado. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of biological agents on two coffee cultivars. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse using a completely randomized design. The treatments were arranged in a 2x3 factorial scheme, using repeated measures (two cultivars, 3 nematicides, and 2 additional controls), and were composed of two genotypes (Mundo Novo IAC 376-4 and IPR-100), three biological nematicides (B. methylotrophicus, B. subitilis, and T. asperellum), and two treatments including the three nematicides together, totaling 8 treatments and 2 controls, with 6 replicates each. The plants were inoculated with 3,780 eggs and J2s of the respective nematode. Throughout 150 days, the following variables were evaluated monthly: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaf pairs, and chlorophyll contents. At the end of this period (DAI), the reproductive factor (RF), egg mass and gall index were analyzed. About FR, the results were lower (<1) when using the cultivar IPR-100 when compared to the Mundo Novo genotype, denoting adequate genetic control. On the other hand, in the treatments with the susceptible genotype, high FRs were verified, ranging from 2.64 to 5.68 in the control. It was concluded that the bacterial mixtures were efficient in the control, and B. methylotrophicus contributed to higher plant height in the IPR 100 genotype.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Silva, Paulo Vinicius da; Barbosa, Gustavo César; Ferrari, Andréa; Tronquini, Sergio Mateus; Monquero, Patrícia Andrea
The present study aims to evaluate the control of C. benghalensis by herbicides applied in post-emergence and in pre-emergence sequentially in the infesting weed in the coffee crop. Two field experiments were carried out in a coffee crop, with natural infestation of C. benghalensis, the experimental design of both was completely randomized with 4 replicates. The first experiment, involving a single application of herbicides in post-emergence presented the following treatments: (1) saflufenacil (70 g i.a. ha -1 ); (2) glufosinate (400 g i.a. ha -1 ); (3) carfentrazone (20 g i.a. ha -1 ); (4) flumioxazin (120 g i.a. ha -1 ); (5) metsulfuron (6 g i.a. ha -1 ), and (6) witness (without application of herbicide). In the second experiment, the treatments were: (1) saflufenacil (70 g i.a. ha -1 ); (2) carfentrazone (20 g i.a. ha -1 ); (3) flumioxazin (120 g i.a. ha -1 ); (4) metsulfuron (6 g i.a. ha -1 ), all these treatments with a sequence of indaziflam (75 g i.a. ha -1 ), at 21 days after the application of the treatments (DAT) of pos-emerging; (5) Witness (without application of herbicides). In the first experiment the herbicides safluenacil and flumioxazin presented the best percentages of control in post-emergence with 90 and 85.25% respectively, at 7 DAT, keeping the control superior to 80% at 21 DAT. In the second experiment, the treatments saflufenacil and flumioxazin with indaziflam sequential, presented control of 80% and 82.5% respectively at 28DAA (Days After Application). The herbicides saflufenacil and fluxioxazin represent an option for the control of C. benghalensis in post-emergence and favor the performance of the sequentially applied indaziflam herbicide.
Coffee land cover changes analyses: a study case in São Paulo state
(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Coltri, Priscila Pereira; Lima, Paulo Renato; Vicente, Andrea Koga-; Gonçalves, Renata Ribeiro do Valle
In this research, we combine data analyses with hotspots method to identify the spatio-temporal trend of São Paulo’s coffee cultivation area. Our hypothesis is that coffee cultivation area has been changing significantly in the study area since 1990. Therefore, the main goal of this research was to map the spatial pattern of coffee land use change. For coffee land use diagnostics, official data of cultivated area, hotspot analyses and growth rate were used. The results demonstrated that coffee cultivation area decreased and concentrated in smaller areas, which are traditionally recognized as “coffee quality regions”. The producer size analyses evidenced that, not only the localization, but also the producer profile changes as well. Smallholders increased but medium and large producers decreased significantly in the studied period. The coffee abandonment analyses demonstrated that, over the study period, 51.46% of the coffee area cultivated in the study region was abandoned.
Economic viability of arabica coffee in the state of Espírito Santo considering manual and semi-mechanized harvest
(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Galeano, Edileuza Vital; Krohling, Cesar Abel
Recent studies have shown that coffee production costs have been rising above inflation and that the activity has become less attractive to producers. One of the ways to try reducing costs is through the mechanization of activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production cost and economic viability of arabica coffee in the state of Espírito Santo, comparing manual and semi-mechanized harvest to different yield levels. For the feasibility analysis, the techniques of Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return were used and the sensitivity analysis was used for risk assessment. The results show advantages of semi-mechanized harvest. At the level of 50 bags per hectare, the activity was profitable considering the interest rate of 8%. In manual harvesting, the IRR is 8.3% and, in the semi-mechanized harvest, the IRR is 16%. Producers must invest in higher yield levels with new technologies and mechanization to have greater return in the activity.
Endocarp analysis of a traditional variety of colombian coffee
(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Muñoz, Milton; Roa, Manuel; Correa, Rodrigo
This article presents the main results of thermal analytical and drying tests applied to the endocarp of coffee bean samples, in order to analyze their influence on the coffee dehydration process. An infrared analysis, as well as TGA, DTGA and DSC tests, were applied to the parchment of a sample of Castilla variety coffee beans and later compared with similar tests performed on coffee beans of the same variety, upon parchment removal. For analytical tests, the main thermogravimetric transitions are reported up to a temperature of 1000 °C. From thermograms, four temperature range were identified for parchment, with their respective mass loss: 33-33.7°C, 9.48%; 33.7-251.2°C, 16.23%; 251.2-358°C, 47.48%; and 358-800°C, 15.52%. The greatest mass loss was due to cellulose and hemicellulose degradation. The study was complemented by drying experiments on samples of beans with and without parchment. The diffusion coefficients were found using Fick’s second law and metaheuristic optimization methods (global optimization). On average, the diffusion coefficient of grains without endocarp is 46% greater than that of beans dried with the parchment. Coffee beans with parchment took, on average, 50% more time to reaching moisture levels of 12% (on dry basis). The results are considered important for the projection and design of new coffee drying systems and their automatic control.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Fonseca, Abel Souza da; Lima, Julião Soares de Souza; Silva, Samuel de Assis; Dardengo, Maria Christina Junger Delôgo; Xavier, Alexandre Candido
The objective in this study was to evaluate the spatial and temporal variability of the beverage quality by applying the fuzzy classification in the final global sensory analysis, for Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner, in two consecutive harvests. The studied variables were: fragrance (aroma), flavor, bitterness (sweetness), set, balance, cleaning, aftertaste, mouth feel, uniformity, salinity (acidity) and drink (global note). To the average overall scores of the drinks obtained on the cup-tasting at 80.0 points of a sampling, the mesh has applied the function of association of the fuzzy classification linear model to determine the degree of pertinence. The data were analyzed by the descriptive statistics and then by geostatistics to verify the existence and quantify the degree of spatial dependence of the variables. In the interval classified as “very good coffee” is found in the global average grade, in the two harvests. The methodology fuzzy applied in the global beverage note of the coffee conilon seminal made it possible to determine their spatial variability in the same distribution pattern in the two harvests, close ranges, and adjustments to the spherical model, which was confirmed by the spatial correlation of 61.6% among the fuzzy maps for the global score.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Ruela, Viviane Maria; Silva, Adriano Bortolotti da; Veiga, André Delly; Souza, Thiago Corrêa de; Marques, Daniele Maria; Costa, Carlos Emanuel de Melo; Rezende, Tiago Teruel
Research has shown that, in addition to the fungicidal action already known, strobilurins have positive physiological effects on the yield of some crops. Boscalid has also shown positive effects on plants, applied together or associated with strobilurin. The objective in this study was to evaluate the effect of fungicide application on growth and physiological behavior of coffee seedlings. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with five replicates. There were five treatments: T1-Control, T2-Boscalid, T3-Pyraclostrobin, T4- Boscalid+ Pyraclostrobin and T5- Azoxystrobin applied in coffee seedlings. The application was at the “orelha de onça” stage (two round-shaped leaves), repeated every 15 days, counting 5 applications in total. Were evaluated shoot length, root length, stem diameter, shoot and root fresh matter, shoot and root dry matter, leaf photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration, intercellular CO2 concentration, water use efficiency and carboxylation efficiency. The application of fungicides promotes greater vegetative growth of coffee seedlings due to increased CO2 assimilation rate, reduced transpiration rates and increased water use efficiency, associated to the increased levels of auxin and cytokinins in leaves.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Melo, Thiago Lima; Raetano, Carlos Gilberto; Nery, Moizés Silva; Cardoso, Adriana Dias; Moreira, Aldenise Alves; Leite, Suzany Aguiar; Jesus, Thamires Francisca de; Silva, Wesley Gil Oliveira; Castellani, Maria Aparecida
The leaf miner is a key pest of coffee and the use of insecticides for its control results in high water consumption. The objective in this study was to evaluate the quali-quantitative aspects of reduced spray volumes with and without the addition of adjuvant, the efficacy of the insecticide cartap hydrochloride in the control of the pest and its effects on the parasitism. Two experiments were carried out in coffee plantations in São Desiderio, BA. Initially, solution of Brilliant Blue tracer (0.15% p v -1 ) of the 43, 112, 146 and 309 L ha -1 volumes was sprayed with and without the soybean oil methyl ester adjuvant (0.25 % v v -1 ). Before spraying, water-sensitive cards were fixed to the plants and subsequently used for analyze the droplet spectrum in Gotas 1.0 software. The tracer deposit was determined by spectrophotometry. Posteriorly, the insecticide cartap hydrochloride (0.5 kg a.i. ha -1 ) was applied in the same volumes and types of spray used in the first test. Infestation rates of pest and parasitism were evaluated before and after application of the insecticide. The quali-quantitative aspects of the sprays were affected by the volume of spray applied, by the adjuvant and by the interaction of the factors. The intermediate volumes yielded better spraying quality without the presence of the adjuvante, with higher number and desity of drops. The spraying volume affected the depoisto the Brilliant Blue tracer in a linear and positive form. The efficacy of the insecticide was prolonged with the lowest volume spray and with adjuvant and its impact on parasitism varied with the volume applied and time after application.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Pereira, Dyanna Rangel; Aguiar, João Augusto Rodrigues de; Nadaleti, Denis Henrique Silva; Fassio, Larissa de Oliveira; Carvalho, João Paulo Felicori; Carvalho, Samuel Pereira de; Carvalho, Gladyston Rodrigues
Quality, in a condition of typical cultivation of the Cerrado. The trial was carried out in the municipality of Monte Carmelo - MG, in randomized block design, with four replicates. Morphoagronomic characteristics were evaluated 15 months after the implantation of the crop. The productivity and, subsequently, the quality of the beans, were evaluated at 18 months. Statistical analyzes were performed using the Genes software. The data were submitted to analysis of variance. The F test was used to determine the significance of treatments. The means were grouped by the Scott-Knott test (1974) at 5% probability and the experimental precision was verified by the estimation of the experimental variation coefficient (CV) and the selective accuracy. The sensory attributes were evaluated in a radar diagram, called “Sensogram”. Genetic variability was observed among cultivars for the vegetative characters. The cultivars Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 and MGS Aranãs stood out as more productive, with a high percentage of sieve 16 and above and low percentage of grain type mocha. All the cultivars stood out as special, with emphasis on the cultivar Bourbon Amarelo IAC J10 in the wet processing and Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144 in the natural processing.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Oliveira Júnior, Geraldo Gomes de; Silva, Adriano Bortolotti da; Cunha, Irlon de Ângelo da; Aparecido, Lucas Eduardo de Oliveira; Sabino, Paulo Henrique de Siqueira
The use of portable brush cutter may expose workers to localized vibrations, from the transfer of mechanical vibration of the tool to the operator’s hands and arms. With this in mind, the objective in this study was to quantify the levels of occupational vibration transmitted to the hands and arms of the portable brush cutter operators under routine working conditions in the coffee crop. The vibration levels transmitted to the operator’s hands were measured during activity with portable brush cutters. The experimental design was completely randomized (CRD) in a factorial scheme (2 x 2) combined with two types of grip (Circular cable (CC) and double grip handle (DGH) with two types of tip cutting blades (2TB and 3TB). The data acquisition occurred from the use of the vibration meter SV 103, SVANTEK with triaxial accelerometer, installed on each of the worker’s hand at the contact point with the tool. The results demonstrated that the 2.5 ms -2 action level determined by NR 09 and NHO 10 was exceeded under all conditions of the present study. The highest accelerations were quantified in the operation of the brush cutter equipment with CC, reaching the daily exposure limit of 5 ms -2 allowed for an 8-hour of working day. The resulting acceleration of the DGH equipment was on average 37.45% lower than the operation with the CC equipment. The results bring indicatives of occupational advantages in the selection of these types of accessories for brush cutters, in order to mitigate the effects of exposure to HAV in extended use situations.
Review article the occurrence of cafestol and kahweol diterpenes in different coffee brews
(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Novaes, Fábio Junior Moreira; Bayan, Fernanda Calvente; Aquino Neto, Francisco Radler de; Rezende, Claudia Moraes
Coffee is the second most consumed brew in the world, after water. Cafestol and kahweol are two diterpenes that have been identified, until now, exclusively in the coffee tree. They are co-extracted from the coffee beans that are roasted and ground for the beverage preparation. Their pharmacological properties are related to anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities, although they also increase the serum cholesterol. Several researches reported that coffee brew preparation methods influence directly the levels of the diterpenes. This paper describes a compilation of the main results published for different coffee brews and all variables related to their preparation. Major differences in the reported concentrations have been noted.

The objective of this study was to select coffee progenies with better assessment that can result in coffee rust resistant cultivars and better agronomic characteristics than the traditional ones. The essay was performed at the EPAMIG experimental field in Patrocínio, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Twenty-five progenies in the F 3 generation were studied. The experiment was set in a randomized complete block design with three replicates and ten plants per plot, arranged in rows at 3.5x0.7m. Productivity assessment, fruit production, in liters of “farm coffee” per plot, bean rating in a sieve (16 or above), and plant vigor were accessed in three different harvest seasons (2011/2012 harvest to 2014/2015 harvest), and coffee rust incidence and severity were then evaluated for 2016. The production profit estimation through the selection was also assessed, by the gain of direct selection for each characteristic, when compared to the rank addition. Progenies 13 (Icatu V. IAC 4040 x IAC 5002) and 3 (Icatu A. IAC 2944 x IAC 5002) were promising in generation advance, for being among the five most productive progenies. The selection gain reached by direct selection was superior than the gain of the total rank additions.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-04) Franco Junior, Kleso Silva; Florentino, Ligiane Aparecida
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming is expected with temperature rise and changes in the rainfall in tropical regions, including soil warming, which may lead losses to perennial plants. This phenomenon causes researchers to search through science alternatives in order to minimize these impacts. The objective in this research was to evaluate the cultivation of different plants in a intercropping for the coffee tree shading and its influence on the seedlings establishment, development, coffee growth and the maintenance of lower soil temperatures. The experiment was carried out at the Santa Felicidade Site, Campestre - municipality - South of MG , located at 21 ° 43’ 12 “South and 46 ° 14’ 46” West at an altitude of 1.106 meters. The cultivar used was the Catuai IAC 144, was intercropped with the following species: maize (Zea mays L.), guandu (Cajanus cajan L.), crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis L.), mucuna (Stizolobium aterrimun) and control without any intercrop, totaling five treatments. The plants sowing for shading was performed using a manual planter and the planting was done in 4 plots per treatment, totaling 20 experimental units in a randomized block design with 14 coffee plants per plot. The 10 central plants were analyzed. At the end of the experiment, the following characteristics were evaluated: seedlings establishment, growth in height, average length of plagiotropic branches, number of internodes in plagiotropic branches, coffee canopy and soil temperature. The data were statistically interpreted by means of variance analysis. The means were grouped by the Scott Knott test at 5% probability using the statistical software SISVAR®. According to the results obtained the shading plants in intercropped with the coffee tree managed in the post-planting and first-year phases contributed to a better coffee tree development, observed mainly in the treatments using the Crotalaria and Guandu species.
