    Knowledge on the dynamics of micronutrients in coffee tree assists nutritional diagnosis and fertilization management. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and accumulation of micronutrients in the leaves and fruits of Coffea canephora. The experiment was managed in crops propagated for 2.5 years in a split-plot-in-time scheme in which the main plots consisted of fertilized and not-fertilized plants, and the subplots stipulated the evaluation periods. The berries and leaves were collected every 28 days, starting from the first flowering to full maturity. The micronutrient content was determined by laboratory chemical analysis, and the accumulation of nutrients in the fruit (mg) was calculated by multiplying the dry matter of the berry (g) × nutrient concentration (mg kg−1). The results showed that fertilization infers the zinc concentration in the fruits and the concentration for manganese, iron and zinc in the leaves in the determined periods. Micronutrient accumulation curves followed the simple sigmoidal model, with accumulation increasing considerably as a function of fruit growth. Thus, fertilization based on micronutrients must be divided over stages with higher accumulation rates, considering the specific requirement of each nutrient.

    Adubação foliar de sulfato de zinco na produtividade e teores foliares de zinco e fósforo de cafeeiros arábica

    Para avaliar a dose e a forma de aplicação de sulfato de zinco foliar no crescimento e produtividade do cafeeiro Mundo Novo, instalou-se um experimento de campo em LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Distroférrico, na Fazenda Experimental da Epamig em São Sebastião do Paraíso. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 4 x 2, com cinco repetições e parcela de 30 plantas com seis úteis. As quantidades de sulfato de zinco (ZnSO 4 ) foram aplicadas nas concentrações de 0; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5%, testadas em duas ou quatro aplicações por ano agrícola. Foram avaliados por oito anos os teores foliares de P e Zn e as produções. Concluiu-se que o cafeeiro respondeu positivamente às aplicações de doses crescentes de ZnSO 4 via foliar, aumentando a produção e também os teores foliares de Zn. Maior número de pulverizações de ZnSO 4 em menores concentrações foi superior aos tratamentos com menor número de pulverizações mais concentradas, promovendo maiores produções. As produções máximas foram obtidas com doses de 10,8 e 12,6 kg ha-1 de ZnSO 4 , para duas e quatro aplicações anuais, respectivamente. Sugerem-se valores entre 10 e 28 mg kg-1 como faixa crítica foliar de Zn, e valores de 100 a 150 para relação P/Zn.

    Characterizing zinc use efficiency in varieties of Arabica coffee
    (Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2013-07) Pedrosa, Adriene Woods; Martinez, Hermínia Emilia Prieto; Cruz, Cosme Damião; DaMatta, Fábio Murilo; Clemente, Junia Maria; Neto, Ana Paula
    Among micronutrients, zinc (Zn) is important for coffee tree cultivation, especially in the clayey acid soils of Brazil’s southeast region, where coffee production is an important activity. This study aimed to evaluate the Zn use efficiency of coffee tree varieties using two zinc concentrations. Seedlings of 11 varieties of coffee trees were grown in a greenhouse in nutrient solution containing either 0.0 or 6.0 μmol L-1 of Zn. After eight months, we evaluated the total biomass production, leaf biomass production, concentration of Zn in the plant organs, absorption efficiency, and Zn use efficiency. All characteristics were affected by the Zn concentration. The biomass production of apical leaves was most affected by the Zn treatments, with high variability for the studied varieties. The ‘IPR-103’ variety had the highest Zn use efficiency, and the ‘San Ramon’ and ‘San Bernardo’ varieties had the lowest Zn use efficiency. The ‘Rubi’ variety had a high and low Zn use efficiency when grown at 0.0 and 6.0 μmol L-1 of zinc, respectively. The ‘Oeiras’ variety had a low Zn use efficiency when cultivated at 6.0 μmol L -1 of zinc. The other varieties studied were moderately efficient in their use of zinc.

    Test procedure for variable rate fertilizer on coffee

    The objective was to develop and test a procedure for applying variable rates of fertilizers and evaluate yield response in coffee (Coffea arabica L.) with regard to the application of phosphorus and potassium. The work was conducted during the 2004 season in a 6.4 ha field located in central São Paulo state. Two treatments were applied with alternating strips of fixed and variable rates during the whole season: one following the fertilizing procedures recommended locally, and the other based on a grid soil sampling. A prototype pneumatic fertilizer applicator was used, carrying two conveyor belts, one for each row. Harvesting was done with a commercial harvester equipped with a customized volumetric yield monitor, separating the two treatments. Data were analyzed based on geostatistics, correlations and regressions. The procedure showed to be feasible and effective. The area that received fertilizer applications at a variable rate showed a 34% yield increase compared to the area that received a fixed rate. The variable rate fertilizer resulted in a savings of 23% in phosphate fertilizer and a 13% increase in potassium fertilizer, when compared to fixed rate fertilizer. Yield in 2005, the year after the variable rate treatments, still presented residual effect from treatments carried out during the previous cycle.

    Effects of nitrogen and potassium on the chemical composition of coffee beans and on beverage quality
    (Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2015-07) Clemente, Junia Maria; Martinez, Herminia Emilia Prieto; Alves, Leonardo Corrêa; Finger, Fernando Luíz; Cecon, Paulo Roberto
    The ratio of nitrogen (N) to potassium (K) is important in the production of specialty coffees because the relative amounts of N and K can either suppress the formation or increase the concentration of compounds that are essential to the flavor and aroma of specialty coffees. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different N:K ratios (w/w) and K doses on the cup quality of coffee. The concentrations of chemical compounds essentials to achieve good flavor and aroma, the N and K contents, and the caffeine contents of coffee leaves and beans were evaluated in this study. The N:K ratio and the K dose were found to be important factors in cup quality, the best quality corresponding to an N:K ratio of 1:1.56. The best cup quality was obtained from beans with greater PPO activity, caffeine, color index, and sugars and lower total tritatable acidity, pH, electrical conductivity and leached potassium. Keywords: Coffea arabica L., coffee, caffeine, fertilization.
