Item Agronomic techniques for mitigating the effects of water restriction on coffee crops(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Castanheira, Dalyse Toledo; Barcelos, Thales Resende; Guimarães, Rubens José; Carvalho, Milene Alves de Figueiredo; Rezende, Tiago Teruel; Bastos, Isadora dos Santos; Cruvinel, Arthur HenriqueWater restriction significantly affects coffee (Coffea arabica L.) production. The study of a few agronomic techniques that optimizes water use can generate technologies for mitigating the effects of climatic variations on coffee crops. The aim in this study was to indicate agronomic techniques that mitigate the effects of water restriction on coffee crops. For this end, we analyzed the morphophysiological changes in coffee plants cultivated in a greenhouse with different types of fertilizers and soil conditioners and under two levels of irrigation. The evaluations were performed 130 days after planting, assessing the morphological and physiological characteristics of the plants. We also quantified soil moisture in the different treatments. The water restriction expressively hindered plant growth. The use of controlled release fertilizers and soil conditioners, especially coffee husk, is indicated for mitigating water restriction in coffee crops.Item Growth, anatomy and physiology of coffee plants intoxicated by the herbicide glyphosate(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Castanheira, Dalyse Toledo; Alecrim, Ademilson de Oliveira; Voltolini, Giovani Belutti; Rezende, Tiago Teruel; Menicucci Netto, Pedro; Guimarães, Rubens JoséWeed control is fundamental in coffee cultivation due to their high interference, competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients. Among the control methods used, chemical control is highlighted, due to 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, the objective of this study was to growth, anatomy and physiology of coffee plants intoxicated by the herbicide Glyphosate. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with ‘Topázio MG1190’ coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.), cultivated in pots with an 11 L-substrate capacity. The statistical design was randomized block design (RBD), with four replicates and four doses of the herbicide, making up 16 experimental plots. Each plot consisted of three plants. The treatments were: (i) 0%; (ii) 10%; (iii) 25% and (iv) 50% of the commercial dose of the herbicide Glyphosate. The evaluations were performed at 104 days after application of the treatments. Growth, morphological, and physiological characteristics were evaluated. The effect of glyphosate drift impairs plant growth. However, after 104 days of intoxication, there is no longer any effect on the physiology and leaf anatomy of coffee plants.Item Meteorological variables and sensorial quality of coffee in the Mantiqueira region of Minas Gerais(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Borém, Flávio Meira; Luz, Marcos Paulo Santos; Sáfadi, Thelma; Volpato, Margarete Marin Lordelo; Alves, Helena Maria Ramos; Borém, Rosângela Alves Tristão; Maciel, Daniel AndradeThe objective in this study was to identify meteorological variables related to the sensorial quality of the coffees from Mantiqueira region in Minas Gerais. Meteorological conditions are strongly related to the coffee’s sensorial characteristics, however, there aren’t many studies quantifying this relation. Air temperature and rainfall data were collected and spatialized for regional analysis. These were associated to the 2007 through 2011 coffees’ beverage scores. The region was stratified according to relief characteristics. The bigger frequency of high scores occurred on the region’s central-south, where coffee cultivation is performed above 900 m altitude. For the in loco study, meteorological data and coffee samples were collected in selected pilot areas. Coffee crops were selected in three altitude ranges: below 1000 m, between 1000 and 1200 m, and over 1200 m. Above 1000 m the meteorological variable that presented the biggest variation was the air temperature. Above 1000 m the smallest thermal amplitude occurred, which provided superior quality coffees. The study demonstrates the importance of the meteorological variable characterization aiming to identify locations with greater vocation to the specialty coffees production.
