Coffee processing generates large amounts of husk, which can be used as organic fertilizer if technical criteria are considered. This study investigated the effect of coffee husk, applied to or incorporated into the soil, on soil fertility properties, early crop growth and nutrient accumulation in coffee plants. The experiment analyzed coffee plants in a greenhouse in pots, in randomized blocks, in a 5x2 factorial arrangement plus a control treatment, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of the combination of five coffee husk rates (3.5; 7; 14; 28, and 56 t ha-1 ), applied in two forms: spread on the surface or incorporated into the soil, plus the control treatment, without husk application. Portions of 7 dm 3 soil were blended with lime, phosphate fertilizer, as well as coffee husk rates in the treatments with residue incorporation, and incubated for 30 days. Thereafter, one coffee seedling per plot was planted, the coffee husk rates were applied on the soil surface for the treatments without residue incorporation, and the plants were left to grow for 180 days. Coffee husk applied to or incorporated into the soil surface increases the K and organic matter contents of the soil, intensifies the early growth of coffee plants and accelerates N and K accumulation in the plant shoots. The application of coffee husk on the surface is more indicated than its incorporation into the soil, and the best rate at coffee planting is equivalent to 20 t ha-1 .

The micronutrients and biostimulant use can promote root, shoot and seedling growth. The aim of this work was evaluated the micronutrients and biostimulant application effects on arabica coffee seedling development. The experimental design was a randomized block in factorial 5 x 3, with four replicates. Five cultivars of arabica coffee (Topázio, Catuaí Amarelo, Catuaí Vermelho 99, Catuaí Vermelho 144 and Catiguá) cultivated in green house, combined with biostimulant (Stimulate ® ), of micronutrients (Mo+Co) and control. 150 days after sowing the plants was evaluated. The higher seed germination velocity (0.10) was obtained with micronutrients and biostimulant. The higher height of plant, 8.88 cm, was attained with biostimulant on Catuaí Amarelo. Catuaí Amarelo and Vermelho obtained higher number of leaves (4.5) with biostimulant use and the Catuaí Amarelo (4.38) with micronutrients use. In Catuaí Amarelo was attained higher shoot dry mass and leaf area with biostimulant use, reach 1.69 g and 19.55 cm 2 , respectively. The higher root dry mass values (0.76 g) and Dickson quality index (0.47 and 0.48) was attained with micronutrients use to the Catuaí Amarelo e vermelho cultivars. Seedling development of Catuaí Amarelo was benefited with Stimulate ® application and the cultivar Topázio did not get positive development with Stimulate ® and micronutrients application.

The aim of this study was to verify the physiological impacts and the carbohydrate dynamics of Coffea arabica, seedlings subjected to increasing concentrations of magnesium (Mg) and two irradiance levels. Methods: The experiment was carried out in growth chambers with nutrient solution. The treatments were five concentrations of Mg (0, 48, 96, 192, and 384 mg L-1 ) and two irradiance levels (80 and 320 μmol of photons m-2 s-1 ). The coffee seedlings were under the treatments for 90 days. Results: The leaves with deficiency or excess of Mg exposed to the irradiance of 320 μmol of photons m -2 s-1 accumulated more carbohydrates than those exposed to 80 μmol of photons m 2 s-1 . The accumulation of carbohydrates in the leaves increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Leaves exposed to 320 μmol of photons m-2 s-1 exhibited symptoms of scald by the sun caused by photo-oxidation. The scald was more intense in plants with abnormal concentrations of Mg. The antioxidant system of the coffee tree is closely relates to the Mg supply and irradiance levels. Concentrations of Mg between 48 and 96 mg L-1 functioned as a mitigating agent of oxidative stress under stressful conditions caused by high irradiance level.
Nitrogen fertilizers and occurrence of Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet) in transplanted coffee seedlings
(Editora UFLA, 2018-07) Sabino, Paulo Henrique de Siqueira; Reis Júnior, Francisco Ailton dos; Carvalho, Geraldo Andrade; Mantovani, José Ricardo
The coffee leaf-miner (CLM) Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) is one of the main pests of coffee plants in Brazil. Its occurrence in the crop is directly related to the physiological state and growth characteristics of coffee plants, in turn related to plant nutrition. The present work, therefore, aimed to evaluate the effect of nitrogen sources on the occurrence of CLM in coffee seedlings. The fertilizers used were ammonium sulfate, urea, and organomineral. The number of leaves mined by CLM and the relative contents of chlorophyll and crude protein in the leaves were recorded. Ammonium sulfate and urea favored higher occurrence of leaves mined and organomineral fertilizer provided the lowest incidence of leaves mined by CLM. The three sources of nitrogen increased the chlorophyll content, but only ammonium sulfate caused an increased percentage of crude protein in the leaves of coffee seedlings. For the improvement of management strategies for L. coffeella it is fundamental to understand favorable conditions, nutritional management it is one of the pest control mechanisms, thus making it possible to control the insect and prevent the population of CLM from reaching an economic damage threshold.
Spatial variability of soil penetration resistance in coffee growing

The intensive use of machines in agriculture tends to cause soil compaction, which can hamper the expansion of root system and the absorption of water and nutrients, thus affecting the crop development. In view of the above, the present study aimed to identify critical zones of soil compaction, through the spatial distribution of soil penetration resistance (SPR), having positions within the coffee rows and soil depth ranges as variables. The study was performed in a coffee plantation of 7.32 ha, belonging to the Bom Jardim Farm, located in the municipality of Bom Sucesso, MG, Brazil. The SPR was measured using a penetrometer in the depth range from 0 to 0.40 m, with discretization in four layers of 0.10 m. The data were interpreted based on geostatistics, in order to identify if there is spatial dependence of the SPR and generate thematic maps demonstrating the variable’s spatial behavior. It is concluded that there is spatial dependence of soil penetration resistance, being possible to use geostatistical tools to generate thematic maps based on classes of soil penetration resistance. The values of SPR in the tractor trail, for layers from 0.10 to 0.20 and from 0.20 to 0.30 m, were classified in the high SPR class and could cause damage to the crop.
