(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Krohling, Cesar Abel; Matiello, José Braz; Almeida, Saulo Roque de; Eutrópio, Frederico Jacob; Carvalho, Carlos Henrique de Siqueira
Brazil is known for production and worldwide export of coffees. Study of adaptation of new progenies/cultivars of Arabica coffee (C. arabica L.) with resistance to rust in mountainous edaphoclimatic conditions is important for crop renewal and also for new plantations. This study was performed in the mountainous region of the Espírito Santo state, Brazil, with 30 progenies/cultivars of Arabica coffee planted at 2.5 x 0.7 m spacing with four replicates and seven plants/plot. The objective of the study was to evaluate the adaptation of rust-resistance coffee genotypes and compare them with the standard cultivars (Yellow and Red Catuaís), with regards to the characteristics of productivity, rust infection, productivity, sieve, aspect, plant vigor and yield according to the different maturity periods of the fruits. The results show that there are progenies/cultivars available with yields superior to Red and Yellow Catuais for the five different maturation periods. The progenies/cultivars present tolerance/resistance to rust, high plant vigor and good agronomic characteristics of the beans. These are options for new plantations or for renovation of crops for high harvest yield and do not required the use of pesticides.

Differentiation of coffee according to its quality can result in added value. Both the coffee genotype and the environment influence beverage quality. The main species grown in the Amazon region is C. canephora, which includes two distinct botanical varieties: Conilon and Robusta. The aim of this study was to characterize beverage quality in C. canephora and distinguish the Conilon and Robusta botanical varieties and intervarietal hybrids. We evaluated the beverage quality of 130 superior clones from samples of hulled coffee collected in the experimental field of Embrapa Rondônia in the municipality of Ouro Preto do Oeste, RO, Brazil. The beverage was classified according to the Robusta Cupping Protocols, which also considers the nuances of the beverage, described as neutral, fruit-like, exotic, refined, and mild. The final mean values classified the Robusta botanical variety and the intervarietal hybrids as coffees with a premium beverage, and the Conilon botanical variety as usual good quality. The nuances of the Conilon botanical variety were found to be predominantly neutral (78%), as compared to the Robusta botanical variety and the intervarietal hybrids, which exhibited 50% and 44% of their beverages, respectively, with fruit-like, exotic, or mild nuances. The genetic parameters indicate that the genetic component was more important than the environmental in expression of coffee quality attributes. Genetic variability was observed in the population evaluated, except for the Uniform Cup and Clean Cup beverage attributes.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Santos, Anderson Vieira; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Silveira, Silvaldo Felipe da; Teixeira, Alexsandro Lara; Matos, Sara Inácia de; Vieira Júnior, José Roberto
Meloidogynose is prominent among the factors that limit yield in C. canephora in the western Amazon, Brazil. It is caused by species of “root-knot nematode”; the most important and aggressive of these species for coffee is M. incognita. The aim of this study was to assist the selection of resistant genotypes by characterizing the reaction of 32 C. canephora clones to M. incognita (Est I2). These genotypes are selected plants from the Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Rondônia of the botanical varieties Conilon, Robusta and intervarietal hybrids. The experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions by inoculating six seedlings for each clone with 10 ml of suspension containing 5000 eggs of a pure inoculum of M. incognita. At 150 days after inoculation, evaluations were made of fresh weight of roots (FWR), total number of galls (NG), total number of eggs (NE), and the nematode reproduction factor (RF=final population/initial population). In contrast with the susceptible controls of arabica coffee (RF=1.2) and tomato plants (RF=31.3), six clones of the Conilon botanical variety, five clones of the Robusta botanical variety and eight intervarietal hybrids reacted as resistant to M. incognita, exhibiting RF<1 and a reduced number of galls (NG mean = <10). The clones identified as resistant in this study were integrated in the coffee breeding program in Rondônia for development of cultivars resistant to the root-knot nematode adapted to tropical conditions.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Silva, Carlos Alberto da; Miranda, Gustavo Rabelo Botrel; Alves, Alberto Donizete; Goulart, Roseli dos Reis
The plants invasion of Conyza genus has occurred in several regions in Brazil and in the world, due to the selection caused by the continuous use of herbicides with the same active, causing losses in production. This work aims to evaluate the association of herbicides in the control of C. canadensis. The trial was carried out on a farm, in MG, in a Mundo Novo coffee plantation, in a randomized block design (RBD), with 7 treatments and 4 replications, totalizing 28 plots. The treatments were composed by CTU (no application), Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1, Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Ethyl Chlorimuron 25g i.a ha-1, Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Methyl Metsulfuron 6g i.a ha-1, Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Flumioxazine 100g i.a ha-1, Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Ethyl Carfentrazone 32g i.a ha-1, Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Saflufenacil 56g i.a ha-1. In all treatments, non-ionic Dash adjuvant was used in the proportion of 1% of the application volume. Ten evaluations were carried out using the scores criterion, where 1 means efficiency between 0 and 20%; 2 from 21 to 40%; 3 from 41 to 60%; 4 from 61 to 80%; 5 from 81 and 100%. It is concluded the treatment Glyphosate 1440g i.a ha-1 + Saflufenacil 56g i.a ha-1 presented superior results from the first evaluation, evolving until the conclusion of this experiment.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Guimarães, Elisa Reis; Andrade, Helga Cristina Carvalho de; Cozadi, Álvaro dos Reis; Antonialli, Luiz Marcelo; Santos, Antônio Carlos dos
The specialty coffee market is still little known and underexplored in Brazil, motivating an analysis of the competitive pressures and structure of the artisan coffee roaster segment in the state of Minas Gerais, in order to better understand it and encourage the adoption of specific policies for its expansion, besides comparing it to the commodity coffee roasting segment. A multi-case study was performed with three companies in this segment through in-depth interviews with their owners. There were significant changes in the competitive forces that shape the coffee industry, when comparing the specialty and commodity coffee segments, both in intensity and in motivations. Among the suggested policies to support the specialty coffee segment are its promotion and dissemination through “consumer education” and awareness raising on the differentiated properties of these products, besides providing subsidized courses and specializations for those who wish to be involved in this marketplace.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Chalfoun, Sara Maria; Martins, Carla de Pádua; Matos, Christiano Sousa Machado; Pereira, Alessandro Botelho; Silva, Vicentina Nazaré
The coffee intercropping with fruit and wooden species of economic value has been presented as a viable alternative for coffee cultivation in order to mitigate adverse environmental conditions for coffee trees, among other factors. Adapting the crop management to the new conditions stablished by the system is fundamental to obtain success on intercropping. One of the most serious diseases for the crop is the rust caused by Hemileia vastatrix., which may have its severity increased in function of the microclimate conditions provided by the trees. In this sense, the disease behavior under different intercropping systems and consequent different need to adapt the control measures when compared to the cultivation in full sun should be investigated. The present study was conducted aimed to verify the impact of tree systems composed by three wooden species, Cedar (Acrocarpos fraxinifolius), African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis ), Teak (Tectona grandis ) and two species of fruit trees, avocado (Persea Americana) and macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) planted in different spacing over the occurrence and evolution of rust.It was possible to observe that coffee rust began to progress in the coffee plants from the month of February reaching a peak in September in all the treatments. Differences were observed in the progress curves of the disease, especially in the species that presented larger canopy such as avocado. Further studies are suggested with the purpose of establishing the microclimatic changes provided by the cultivation of different wooden and fruit species in intercropping with coffee, according to the dynamics of the climate and their development.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Endo, Ricardo Tsuyoshi; Davi Junior, Salmo de Melo; Silva, Rafael Vinhal; Fernandes, Maria Elisa de Sena; Pereira, Renata Cunha; Teixeira, Adélio Barbosa; Fernandes, Flávio Lemes
Technicians and insecticide retailers recommend adding sulfur to the insecticide mixture to expel coffee borer females (Hypothenemus hampei ) from the fruit. The objective in this study was to verify if sulfur expels the coffee borer from the fruit and what the cost associated with the use of sulfur in the insecticide mixture is. Perforated fruits were collected from coffee crops (Red Catuaí, IAC 144) during the granulation phase for the experiments and divided into two lots. The first lot was used to verify the effectiveness of sulfur to expel the borer, and the second to evaluate the effect of temperature x sulfur source x expelling effect on the borer. Sources of sulfur tested were: SK30 and Kumulus DF. The first experiment was the treatments: sulfur sources (two + control without sulfur), two plastic containers (open and closed), five repetitions (factorial: 3 x 2). The second were the treatments: sulfur sources, plastic containers and under two temperatures, factorial 3x2x2. The number of adult females that left the fruits within 24 and 48 h was evaluated. There was no difference in the number of females that abandoned the fruits between treatments with sulfur and control (P> 0.05). It was concluded that sulfur does not expel H. hampei from C. arabica fruits.

This study aimed at assessing the interaction of potassium (K) and boron (B) in the coffee rust intensity in a nutrient solution. The experiment which was performed in a greenhouse was set up in the randomized complete block design (DBC) with four replicates. The experimental unit involved a single vase with two Catuaí Vermelho (IAC 144) cultivars. The treatments included five doses of boron (0.05, 0.50, 1, 2 and 4 mg L-1 ) and five of potassium (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 mmol L-1 ), totaling to 25 treatments in a factorial variance analysis. All the coffee seedling leaves were inoculated with Hemileia vastatrix. For the next 24 hours, the vases were covered with a black plastic bag, and left in the greenhouse to ensure favorable conditions for the fungal infection. A significant interaction was observed between the potassium (K) and boron (B) nutrients in coffee rust intensity. As the boron dose increased from 0.05 to 2.0 mg L-1 , the coffee rust intensity was observed to rise. From the 0.50 mg L-1 dose of B a drastic drop in the dry plant mass was observed, which reached zero index at the highest boron dose due to phytotoxicity.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Mendonça, Eduardo de Sá; Moura, Waldenia de Melo; Guimarães, Gabriel Pinto; Burak, Diego Lang
The evaluation of the decomposition of plant residues added to the soil for green manures allows better understanding of the nutrient supply for coffee. The aim of this study was to determine the decomposition constant (κ), the half- lifetime (t 1/2 ) and the nutrient release from legumes and spontaneous plant under two environmental conditions of sun-exposure in the Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais state. The experimental unit located in Araponga has northwest sun-exposure face and the experimental unit located in Pedra Dourada has the south sun-exposure face. The experimental design was a randomized block in a 2 x 8 x 6 factorial (two environments facing sun-exposure, 8 green manures and 6 residue decomposition assessment times), with four replicates. The results showed that κ and t 1/2 of the evaluated green manures did not differ between the northwestern face (highest altitude, temperature and incident light) and the south face (lower altitude, temperature and incident light). The κ difference obtained between all green manures was due to its chemical and biochemical composition. At the end of the evaluation period of 240 days an average of 62,3 and 63,1% N; 99,4 and 99,5% P and 92,8 and 93,3% K were released from the green manures of the northwest and south faces respectively. The most promising legume in the total nutrients release on the northwest face was D. lablab with 74,6; 10,9 and 69,0 kg ha-1 of N, P and K, respectively. To the south face the most promising legume was C. spectabilis with 69,1; 10,4 and 47,9 kg ha-1 of N, P and K, respectively.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Borém, Flávio Meira; Nunes, Cleiton Antônio; Alves, Ana Paula de Carvalho; Santos, Claudia Mendes dos; Taveira, José Henrique da Silva; Dias, Laryanne Lopes de Carvalho
This study was conducted to investigate the potential of organic acids and bioactive compounds present in rawbeans to differentiate the sensory quality of coffee from different genotypes and processing methods. During the 2010, 2011 and 2012 crop seasons, beverage quality was analyzed, as well as the profile of organic acids and bioactive compounds caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA) in raw coffee beans from genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá. The samples were collected in commercial fields with altitudes ranging from 932 to 1391 m, in the municipality of Carmo de Minas, MG, Brazil. Two processing methods were adopted: dry process (natural) and wet process (mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee). All harvest and post-harvest procedures were carried out according to the main technologies for the production of specialty coffees. The sensory analysis was performed using the methodology proposed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). Chemical analyses were performed by High performance liquid chromatography. Data were investigated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The variations in the contents of organic acids and bioactive compounds were due to the coffee processing method. For genotypes Bourbon Amarelo and Acaiá, the differences in the organic acid profile, associated with caffeine, trigonelline and chlorogenic acids (3,4 and 5-CQA), were essential to differentiate the quality of mechanically pulped and demucilaged coffee. No significant differences were observed in the sensory quality of natural coffee due to the analysis of organic acids and bioactive compounds

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Borém, Flávio Meira; Isquierdo, Eder Pedroza; Alves, Guilherme Euripedes; Ribeiro, Diego Egídio; Siqueira, Valdiney Cambuy; Taveira, Jose Henrique da Silva
The final quality of coffees depends on the preservation of the cell membranes of the coffee beans, which can be damaged during the drying. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the immediate and latent effects of the air temperature and drying rate on the sensorial quality of natural coffees, as well as its relationship with the chemical e physiological characteristics of the coffee beans. Mature fruits of arabica coffee were harvested and sundried to moisture content of approximately 35% (wb) and then moved into a mechanical drier under different conditions of drying. This process involved the combination of three dry bulb temperatures – DBT (35°C, 40°C, and 45°C) and two dew point temperatures – DPT (2.6°C and 16.2°C). Thus, the relative humidity of the air used for drying was a dependent variable of DTB and DPT, and as consequences, different drying rates were achieved for each DBT. The increase in the drying rate for the temperatures 35°C and 40°C has a negative effect on the final quality of natural coffee beans. However, for the temperature of 45°C, the effects of the drying rate on the coffee beans are overlaid by the thermal damages that are caused at this level of heating. Higher sensory scores for coffee are linked to lower values of electrical conductivity and potassium leaching of the exudate of the coffee beans, as well as lower values of fatty acids. It is emphasized that while the temperature of 35o C is recommended for the production of specialty coffees the temperature of 45o C is not.
Root-knot and lesion nematodes in coffee seedlings produced in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Terra, Willian César; Silva, Júlio Carlos Pereira da; Campos, Vicente Paulo; Salgado, Sônia Maria de Lima
Understanding the mechanisms of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) dispersion is vital to improve control strategies aiming to restrict dissemination of these plant parasites. In the present work, we evaluated the presence of PPN in Arabic coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings produced in commercial nurseries in Minas Gerais, state, Brazil. A total of 2830 samples obtained from 318 coffee nurseries, in 84 counties within the South and Zona da Mata regions in Minas Gerais, Brazil and representing more than 62 million coffee seedlings, were analyzed. Meloidogyne spp. was identified in 11 samples from four counties. Pratylenchus spp. and Rotylenchulus reniformis were detected in 281 and 47 samples, respectively. According to the Regulatory Instruction N° 35 from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), in Brazil, coffee seedlings infected by Meloidogyne spp. are prohibited for commercialization and/or planting. However, such restrictions do not apply to other PPN. Therefore, seedlings sold in Minas Gerais may constitute sources of dissemination for root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.) and the reniform nematode (R. reniformis).
Sensory profile of brazilian coffees based on consumer perception as an alternative to the conventional methods
(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Alcantara, Marcela de; Freitas-Sá, Daniela De Grandi Castro
Consumer-based methodologies for sensory characterization of foods have been widely discussed and are satisfactory, when compared to the results of trained panelists. However their efficiency in the description of complex foods rich in sensory attributes (flavor and aroma) such as coffee still needs to be explored. Polarized sensory positioning (PSP) is an innovative methodology for sensory characterization, based on the comparison of samples with reference products. In this study, roasted and ground coffees with different quality ratings according to the Coffee Quality Program (PQC) of the Brazilian Coffee Industry Association (ABIC) – Traditional, Superior and Gourmet – were evaluated by this method, applied to consumers. The beverage was presented to 100 consumers, who quantified the degree of global difference between the samples and the chosen references, using unstructured scales, followed by the verbal description of the sensory characteristics perceived in each sample evaluated. The samples were described for 30 attributes related to visual appearance, aroma, flavor, texture and hedonic terms. The method presented a good discriminative capacity, since it was able to differentiate the samples according to the PQC classification. In addition it allowed to identify the main sensory characteristics responsible for similarities and differences between the samples. The results indicate that consumers were able to infer about a quality classification based on their own perception and vocabulary, and the Brazilian traditional coffee was considered inferior to specialty coffees increasingly available in the market.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Mota, Raquel Pinheiro da; Almeida, Risely Ferraz de; Lemes, Ernane Miranda; Buiatti, Camilla; Alvarenga, Lettícia; Magela, Mara Lúcia Martins; Camargo, Reginaldo de
Coffee production presents great economic and social importance. To increases coffee production and decreases the environmental impacts of its activity, it is necessary to know the soil attributes and their impacts on plant development. Therefore, due to the importance of the soil physical and chemical attributes, as well as the significance of coffee to Brazil, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical attributes of an Oxisol planted with coffee conducted under conventional tillage system. For the purposes of analysis and interpretation of the data, the experiment was performed and interpreted in a completely randomized design, with the factorial 3 x 2, referring to three locations in the area of the coffee plantation (planting line, canopy projection, between planting lines) and two soil layers (0 - 0.2 m and 0.2 - 0.4 m), with four replications. It is concluded that no distinctions for soil porosity and total porosity was observed among soil locations, and that ‘planting line’ position showed superior concentrations of total organic carbon and mean geometric diameter of the soil aggregates.

(Editora UFLA, 2018-04) Corsini, Wanêssa Tavares Campos; Corsini, Fábio dos Santos; Naves, Luciana de Paula; Angelocci, Marina Ariente; Paiva, Leandro Carlos; Putti, Fernando Ferrari
Highly appreciated by all people worldwide, coffee is a commodity with great economical weight in Brazil. While underscoring analyses on coffee production by the scientific community, current assay deals with the profile of coffee producers in the rural regions of the towns Machado, Poço Fundo and others in the south of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Field work with 225 small producers of the region comprised questionnaires which were analyzed and grouped statistically in discriminating clusters. The correlation of variables was assessed by Pearson ́s methodology. Results show that schooling level had a positive correlation with regard to the adequate use of fertilizers and insecticides. Higher schooling level provided greater knowledge on normalizations and correct soil management.
