Water 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.

The development of materials that use less polluting manufacturing techniques and can be manufactured from agricultural and/or industrial waste is an increasingly explored field of research. The objective of this work was to study the effects of the coffee peel particles (Coffea arabica L.) incorporation in partial replacement of cement, on the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of bricks, at different ages. For this purpose, soil corrected with sand, Portland cement type CP II F-32 and coffee peel particles were used. After the initial percentage of cement in the mixture was defined as 10%, coffee peels were added in relation to cement, equal to 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The bricks were submitted to simple compression tests, at the ages of 14, 28 and 56 days, thermal insulation at 28 days. The increase in peel content caused increases in water absorption, and reduction of compressive strength and apparent specific dry mass. The interaction between the shell content and the age of the specimens was significant only for the variable resistance to compression. The thermal conductivity found for the material showed its insulating potential, with values below those determined for ceramic bricks. In general, it can be concluded that the material produced did not fit in the normative requirements for soil-cement bricks, however, the mechanical characteristics found in there, indicate the possibility of use in rustic constructions, such as those ones made with adobe bricks.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Sabino, Paulo Henrique de Siqueira; Silva, Gian Otávio Alves da; Silva, Adriano Bortolotti da; Carvalho, Geraldo Andrade
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of applying fungicides with different sources of copper and of the number of applications on the occurrence of Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Menéville & Perrottet, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) and on the wax content on leaves in a coffee plantation. Four applications of fungicides were carried out, and the effects on the number of leaves mined by the insect and on the wax content on the leaf surface were evaluated. The copper- based fungicides increased the number of leaves mined by the leaf-miner and reduced the wax content on the coffee leaf surfaces in both periods studied.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Carnier, Ruan; Berton, Ronaldo Severiano; Coscione, Aline Renee; Pires, Adriana Marlene Moreno; Corbo, Jessica Zuanazzi
The coffee industry produces a wide range of organic wastes, some in large amounts, and most of them do not have a well-defined final disposal. The agricultural use of these wastes can be based on the recycling of nitrogen (N), but their chemical characterization and evaluation with soil under controlled conditions are required. The aim in this work was to evaluate the use of coffee silverskin and expired coffee powder as organic fertilizers. The wastes were chemically characterized according to CONAMA’S resolution No. 375 and passed through Brazil’s Agriculture Ministry normative for organic fertilizers. A greenhouse experiment with Rhodic Ferralsol soil and maize as a model plant was carried out to obtain the agronomic efficiency index (AEI) for nitrogen. Three treatments were considered: one control (without waste), ammonium nitrate as a mineral reference, and both organic wastes, at a dose of 450 mg of Kjeldahl nitrogen per pot, in triplicate. The characterization results were favorable to the wastes as nitrogen sources for agriculture. However, the AEIs obtained were low (0.5 and 7.9% for the expired coffee powder and the coffee silverskin, respectively) compared to that of the mineral reference (92%). Although coffee silverskin and expired coffee powder showed nitrogen levels were well above the minimum require by normative (0.5 % m/m), its use as organic fertilizers (as exclusive sources of N) is not recommended since less than 10% of N was available as showed by the AEI index.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Sarria-González, Juan Camilo; Ivorra-Martínez, Eugenio; Girón-Hernández, Joel
Artificial vision techniques were used to evaluate its application in the control of the coffee roasting stage. Coffee samples of Colombia and Castillo varieties were obtained and analyzed by comparing images during the roasting stage. A one-way ANOVA analysis exhibited 94.28% of similarity of the coffee varieties studied; a multivariate analysis showed significant differences (p<0.05) for the time factor and its interaction with the variety factor, no differences were observed (p>0.05) for the coffee varieties. Additionally, a Principal Component, with two components demonstrated 90.77% of the variance by differentiating the samples in the different roasting times. Therefore, the proposed technique could be used in the control of the coffee roasting stage.

Weed 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.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Paula, Paulo Victor Augusto Azevedo de; Pozza, Edson Ampélio; Alves, Eduardo; Moreira, Silvino Intra; Paula, Júlio Cesar Azevedo; Santos, Leandro Alvarenga
Cercosporiosis is caused by Cercospora coffeicola and represents a very important coffee plants phytosanitary problem. Catuaí IAC 144 and Topázio cultivars at the F2 stage were inoculated with a conidial suspension. Samples were collected at 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 168 hours after inoculation (hai) for scanning electron microscope studies. Fungal germination in epidermal surface occurred four hai; penetration only through epidermal wounds, without appressoria, started at 12 hai while the mycelial colonization occurred at 72 hai. The infection in immature coffee fruits implies brown eyespot control management anticipation need, even before the first symptoms.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Franco Junior, Kleso Silva; Florentino, Ligiane Aparecida; Dias, Marcio de Souza; Franco, Thais Cristina
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.

(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 Andrade
The 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.
Modeling dynamic adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic properties of specialty ground roasted-coffee (Coffea arabica L.)
(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Collazos-Escobar, Gentil Andres; Gutiérrez-Guzmán, Nelson; Váquiro-Herrera, Henry A.
Specialty coffee is highly differentiated product because of its sensorial attributes: aroma, body and brand reputation. In specialized markets, these products are highly valued, and sometimes up to six times their commercial value is paid. Thus, it is essential to preserve their freshness. Sorption isotherms are necessary for determining and studying water sorption changes in specialty coffee during storage. This study aimed to determine the adsorption isotherms of specialty ground roasted-coffee at temperatures of 25 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C and water activities between 0.1 and 0.8 using the dynamic dewpoint method (DDI). The experiment sorption data were modeled using 12 different equations with non-linear regression to represent the dependence of the equilibrium moisture content with both water activity and temperature. In addition, the thermodynamic properties were determined with the experiment adsorption data. The results showed that type III isotherms were obtained according to the Brunauer classification, and the Weibull equation satisfactorily modeled the effect of the temperature on the hygroscopic equilibrium in the specialty ground roasted-coffee. The results of thermodynamic analysis showed that the net isosteric heat of adsorption and Gibbs free energy decreased as the equilibrium moisture content increased, indicating the amount of energy released, a strong bond energy between water molecules in the product components and spontaneity in the adsorption process. The entropy of the adsorption increased with the moisture content, leading to product stability conditions during storage; it was possible to conclude that to guarantee the stability of high quality, ground, roasted coffee should store in environments where the water activity does not exceed 0.5 at temperatures between 25 °C and 40 °C. The results were similar to those reported for the roasted and ground coffee of others cultivars.

The application of urea in coffee crop has caused high losses of nitrogen (N) by volatilization, causing low use and recovery of this nutrient. This low use of N may interfere in the growth and nutrition of the coffee crop and thus, influence the efficiency of the nitrogen fertilization. The aim in this work was to assess the growth, nutritional and physiological characteristics and the agronomic efficiency of the nitrogen fertilization with different nitrogen fertilizer technologies. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse in pots with a volume of 14 L. In each pot, it was performed the transplanting of two plants of coffee. The experimental design was entirely randomized, with four replicates. The following nitrogen fertilizers were applied in the dose of 10g pot -1 , devided into three applications with interval of 50 days: Conventional urea; ammonium nitrate; urea + formaldehyde; Polyblen Extend ® ; Polyblen Montanha ® ; Urea + polyurethane; urea + plastic resin; ammonium sulfate + CaCO 3 and the control, without N application. After cropping, it was evaluated the growth, nutritional and physiological parameters. Afterward, it was calculated two agronomic efficiency index of the nitrogen fertilization. The highest values of plants height, the total dry mass of plants and leaf area in coffee seedlings were found with the application of Polyblen Extend ® . This blend also provided higher accumulation of N in the leaf and the whole plant. The application of Polyblen Extend ® provided higher agronomic efficiency and also enhanced the photosynthetic rate in the coffee plants.

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Laborde, Marie Caroline Ferreira; Botelho, Deila Magna dos Santos; Rodríguez, Gabriel Alfonso Alvarez; Resende, Mário Lúcio Vilela de; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Batista, Aline Duarte; Cardoso, Patrícia Gomes; Pascholati, Sérgio Florentino; Gusmão, Luis Fernando Pascholati; Martins, Samuel Júlio; Medeiros, Flávio Henrique Vasconcelos de
Brown eye spot is among the most important coffee diseases, it is caused by a necrotrophic fungal Cercospora coffeicola. Saprobe fungi have potential in reducing the survival of necrotrophic pathogens and can act through competition of nutrients, mycoparasitism, antibiosis and resistance induction. We have screened saprobe fungi for the ability to reduce C. coffeicola sporulation and viability and determined the possible mechanisms involved in the biocontrol. The selected saprobe fungus, Phialomyces macrosporus, reduced the germination of C. coffeicola conidia by 40%. P. macrosporus produced both volatile and non-volatile compounds that inhibited C. coffeicola growth, sporulation and viability. The production of antimicrobial substances was the main mode of action used by the saprobe fungi. Therefore, P. macrosporus is a promising biological agent for the integrated management of brown eye spot

Rust is the main disease of coffee. Recently, cercospora leaf spot has grown in importance, intensifying defoliation and decreasing grain yield in Coffea arabica. The Big Coffee VL is a variety of C. arabica, with large beans. There is still little information on this variety. Because of this, the aim of this study was to use a mixed model approach to select the best progenies of “Big Coffee VL” for resistance to rust and cercospora leaf spot. There were evaluated 12 progenies with high bean yields. Based on bean size, leaves and plant size, plants within each progeny were classified as “small” (P), “medium” (M) and “large” (G). The experimental design was in blocks completely randomized, with six replicates and one plant per plot. Six measurements were carried out every 15 days for each plant by selecting 20 fully exposed leaves with higher and lower sun exposures. The measurements summarized disease severity using two diagrammatic scales to obtain the area of the leaf under rust or Cercospora leaf spot. A mixed model approach was used to calculate genotypic value (GV) and heritability estimates. The Mulamba and Mock index was used to select the most resistant progenies, in which the sum of rankings was weighted by a heritability value. Five progenies were selected; three progenies were G (G17, G9, and G12), one progeny was M (M5) and another progeny P (P23). Among these, M5 and P23 progenies are the most productive and may have potential use in future studies. This work presents the potential in investigating the new C. arabica variety.

Coffee cultivars that are better adapted and more productive can help reduce production costs and make coffee cultivation more profitable. The Mundo Novo cultivar has stood out as one of the most productive cultivars of Coffea arabica L. Therefore, the aim of this work was to select Mundo Novo progenies with high bean yield capacity and with other agronomic characteristics of interest. We evaluated the bean yield, seed size, plant height, upper and lower canopy diameter, stem diameter, and plant vigor of 24 F 4 progenies and one check cultivar. The experimental design consisted of a randomized complete block design with three replicates and experiments were carried out in two sites: São Sebastião do Paraíso (SSP) and Três Pontas (TP), MG, Brazil. The mixed model approach was used to calculate the genotypic value for each progeny, after which the selective accuracy and genetic gain of the two best progenies in each trait were calculated, the simultaneous selection index of Mulamba and Mock was used to select the two most promising progenies at each site. In general, the genetic gain was higher at SSP than at TP. In SSP, the most promising progenies were 1 [IAC376-2 (M. Novo) x IAC386-17 (M. Novo)] and 20 [IAC382-10 (M. Novo) x IAC388-20 (M. Novo)]. In TP, the most promising progeny was 22 [H1535/181 (M. Novo) x (S795) 1344/10/5], together with the check (Mundo Novo IAC379/19). The highest selection gain was expressed for bean size (the percentage of beans retained in sieve 17).

(Editora UFLA, 2019-01) Alecrim, Ademilson de Oliveira; Guimarães, Rubens José; Castanheira, Dalyse Toledo; Rezende, Tiago Teruel; Carvalho, Milene Alves de Figueiredo; Voltolini, Giovani Belutti
The weed control in coffee plants has great importance, as they compete for light, water and nutrients. The chemical control is the most used, emphasizing the glyphosate, however, when applied, drift can occur and consequently cause injuries to coffee. Many farmers use the sucrose application with the objective to reverse the damage caused by the herbicide drift, even without scientific basis to justify such action. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sucrose application on the detoxification of coffee plants in the implantation phase with glyphosate drift. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, using a randomized block design, arranged in a 3 x 3 factorial scheme with 2 additional treatments, using 3 sucrose doses (2, 4 and 8%) with 3 application times (1, 24 and 168 hours after intoxication with 10% of the commercial glyphosate dose) with an additional one in which the plants were not intoxicated and not treated with sucrose and another only with plants intoxicated by glyphosate. After 75 days performing the experiment, growth, physiological and anatomical characteristics were evaluated. The application of sucrose in the reversal of intoxication of growth variables (height, leaf area number of leaves, shoot dry weight and dry weight of the root system) was not efficient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sucrose application on the detoxification of coffee plants in the implantation phase with glyphosate drift. For the physiological variables the application of 2% sucrose, one hour after glyphosate intoxication was the most efficient treatment.
