Item Mobile Application for Adjusting Air-Bast Sprayers in Coffee Plantation(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2022-09-13) Cunha, João P. A. R. da; Alves, Thales C.; Penha, Rafael S. A.Mobile application development advances, particularly for smartphones and tablets, have allowed farmers to make decisions more assertively in their agrobusiness management. This article addresses the development and evaluation of an app aimed at people who deal with the pesticide application technology in coffee farming, more specifically, adjustment and calibration of sprayers. This mobile app provides the main data necessary for a correct calibration of air-blast sprayers to apply pesticides in coffee planting. Its functionalities include calculation of the application rate for each situation (L ha-1) based on data obtained in the field, such as canopy volume. The app, called SprayCafé, was developed for the Android platform using the Java programming language in the integrated development environment Android Studio. After the development, the application was evaluated, based on a questionnaire answered by 139 users, who ranked the following requirements: ease of use, loading time, adequacy of screen resolution, data relevance, sequence of information, and applicability, among others. The system proved to be simple and robust; it was thus assessed as adequate to the field and to be of great value for coffee planting, especially because it allows safer and more adequate pesticide application. The graphical user interface is interactive and easy to use.Item Technological and nutritional aspects of dark chocolate with added coffee husk flour(Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa, 2024-07-19) Borges, Marília Viana; Leite, Cristina Xavier dos Santos; Santos, Ingrid Alves; Leão, Danilo Junqueira; Ferrão, Sibelli Passini Barbosa; Santos, Leandro Soares; Lima, Amanda Beatriz Sales de; Wobeto, Carmen; Lannes, Suzana Caetano da Silva; Silva, Marcondes Viana daThe objective of this work was to produce dark chocolates with the addition of coffee husk flour (CHF) and to evaluate the generated effects on their physical, physicochemical, microbiological, textural, and rheological characteristics. Husks of the Pacamara coffee (Coffea arabica) variety, produced under organic management, were used. The samples were previously dried, ground, and sieved at 0.250 mm. Five chocolate formulations were previously standardized at 55% content of cocoa solids (mass and cocoa butter) and at 0.4% soy lecithin. The addition of CHF was tested at the concentrations of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10%, using a completely randomized design and three replicates. The addition of CHF up to 10% alters the physicochemical, textural, and rheological properties of the chocolate formulations, but without compromising their composition and quality. The tested formulations only differed regarding hardness and cohesiveness, evaluated in the texture profile. The hardness of the chocolate formulations increases as CHF is added.Item Application rate and hydraulic tips used in remotely piloted aircraft affect the phytosanitary products in coffee plant canopies(Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2024) Alvarenga, Cleyton Batista de; Zampiróli, Renan; Cunha, João Paulo Arantes Rodrigues da; Rinaldi, Paula Cristina Natalino; Cunha, Bruno Amâncio da; Faria, Layanara OliveiraMost coffee (Coffea arabica) phytosanitary management techniques are performed using ground-based equipment, and remotely piloted aircraft are a recent alternative. Therefore, this study evaluates the effect of different application rates and hydraulic tips used for spreading phytosanitary products on coffee crops using a remotely piloted aircraft, assisted by artificial targets and dye tracing. The experiment was a 4 × 3 factorial randomized block design with four tips (XR 110-01, TT 110-01, AIXR 110- 015, and TTJ60 110-02) and three application rates (8, 12, and 16 L ha-1 ). Hydrosensitive paper was used to analyze the droplet spectrum, and the Brilliant Blue tracer was used to detect spray deposition. The DJI Agras T20 remotely piloted aircraft was used to apply the phytosanitary product. Speed, flight height, and application range were maintained at 5.56 m s-1 , 2 m, and 5 m, respectively. The flight direction was perpendicular to the crop planting lines. The application rate and hydraulic tip jointly controlled the accumulation of droplets on the target according to its position in the plant canopy. Therefore, remotely piloted aircraft can be used in coffee phytosanitary management, particularly to control targets that predominately occur in the upper third of the plant canopy.Item Green coffee extract attenuates Parkinson’s-related behaviors in animal models(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021-11-01) Molska, Graziella R.; Paula-Freire, Lyvia Izaura G.; Sakalem, Marna E.; Köhn, Daniele O.; Negri, Giuseppina; Carlini, Elisaldo A.; Mendes, Fúlvio R.Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse association between coffee consumption and the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The effects of the oral treatment with green (non-roasted) coffee extracts (CE, 100 or 400 mg/kg) and caffeine (31.2 mg/kg) were evaluated on catalepsy induced by haloperidol in mice, and unilateral 6-OHDA lesion of medial forebrain bundle (MFB) or striatum in rats. Also, the in vitro antioxidant activity and the monoamine levels in the striatum were investigated. CE presented a mild antioxidant activity in vitro and its administration decreased the catalepsy index. CE at the dose of 400 mg/kg induced ipsilateral rotations 14 days after lesion; however, chronic 30-day CE and caffeine treatments did not interfere with the animals’ rotation after apomorphine or methamphetamine challenges in animals with MFB lesion, nor on monoamines levels. Furthermore, CE and caffeine were effective in inhibiting the asymmetry between ipsilateral and contralateral rotations induced by methamphetamine and apomorphine in animals with lesion in the striatum but did not avoid the monoamines depletion. These results indicate that CE components indirectly modulate dopaminergic transmission, suggesting a pro-dopaminergic action of CE, and further investigation must be conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of action and the possible neuroprotective role in PD.Item Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation for coffee seedling production with commercial and conventional substrates(Instituto Agronômico (IAC), 2023-05-22) Silveira, Adriana Parada Dias; Tristão, Fabrício Sales Massafera; Fernandes, Ana Olívia; Andrade, Sara Adrian Lopez; Cipriano, Mateus Aparecido PereiraCoffee seedlings are commonly produced on substrate composed of a mixture of soil and cattle manure, supplemented with chemical fertilizers. Alternatives to reduce production costs and produce seedlings of greater quality and health include the use of commercial organic substrates, which require less handling. The use of beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can be considered a good alternative for production of more vigorous coffee seedlings. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inoculation of AMF isolates on coffee seedlings development in a commercial organic substrate (based on coconut fiber) and conventional substrate (mixture composed of soil and cattle manure compost). Ten AMF were tested: Rhizophagus irregularis, Glomus macrocarpum, Claroideoglomus etunicatum, Rhizophagus clarus, Glomus spp., Gigaspora margarita, Acaulospora morrowiae, Acaulospora scrobiculata, Acaulospora spp., and Dentiscutata heterogamma. Plant growth, shoot P content, mycorrhizal colonization, extraradical mycelium length, phosphatase activity, and photosynthetic pigments were evaluated. The effects of mycorrhization depended on both the inoculated fungal species and the substrate for seedling cultivation. Inoculation of G. margarita, Acaulospora spp., and Glomus spp. in the conventional substrate conferred the best growth plant responses, increasing shoot biomass by 160 to 320%. In the commercial substrate, the most efficient AMF were R. clarus, Glomus spp, A. morrowiae and A. scrobiculata, with up to 149% of shoot biomass increase. The commercial organic substrate and the inoculation of some of the AMF isolates were highly beneficial to coffee seedlings development and can replace the use of the conventional substrate. These results open new opportunities for the use of AMF as an inoculant to improve coffee seedling production in commercial organic substrates.Item Mobile application for adjusting air-blast sprayers in coffee plantation(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2022-09-13) Cunha, João P.

S.Vegetation indices are a quick and practical alternative for monitoring crops due to the availability of satellite images on various platforms for free, allowing a quick analysis of the vegetative state of the crop and interventions in the field in case of signs of diseases and pests. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the vegetative state of the coffee crop using vegetation indices (NDVI, SAVI, ARVI, EVI, and VDVI) in an agricultural year. The study was carried out on a commercial farm using satellite images from the Planet platform, during an agricultural coffee growing season (2021/2022). The indices selected for the study were the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Atmospherically Resistant Vegetation Index (ARVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), and Visible Difference Vegetation Index (VDVI). The index data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, classification/interpretation proposal, and the Kappa index. NDVI and SAVI are efficient in monitoring coffee cultivation in an agricultural year, as the Kappa index was higher than 90%. ARVI and EVI had Kappa index values close to 90% and can be used to monitor the crop. VDVI was inefficient, with a low Kappa index value when compared to the others. The proposed classification for vegetation indices based on NDVI classes and values consisted of an important tool for classifying and interpreting the values of these indices, assisting monitoring and management of coffee cultivation.Item Respostas fisiológicas e morfológicas de cultivares de café arábica à compactação do solo(Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 2021-05-31) Ramos, Elísia Gomes; Oliveira, Teógenes Senna de; Neves, Júlio Cesar LimaA compactação causada pela mecanização afeta a qualidade do solo e consequentemente o desenvolvimento das culturas, alterando a morfologia e fisiologia das mesmas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de cinco graus de compactação do solo na fisiologia e morfologia de diferentes cultivares de café. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, com delineamento de blocos casualizados em arranjo fatorial 5 x 5, sendo cinco cultivares de café e cinco graus de compactação, com quatro repetições, totalizando 100 unidades experimentais. As cultivares utilizadas foram Arara, Catuaí Amarelo, Catuaí Vermelho, Mundo Novo e Paraíso, e os graus de compactação foram 68, 74, 80, 86 e 92%. No ensaio experimental foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: altura das plantas; diâmetro do ramo ortotrópico; número de folhas e de entre-nós; massa úmida e massa seca das raízes e da parte aérea; área foliar; comprimento, área de superfície e volume das raízes; diâmetro de raízes finas e grossas e trocas gasosas (condutância estomática, transpiração, fotossíntese e concentração interna de CO 2 ). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que os altos graus de compactação, acima de 80%, afetaram negativamente a maioria das variáveis; a cultivar Catuaí Vermelho apresentou pior desempenho independente do grau de compactação, enquanto o Arara e o Paraíso foram os mais resistentes ao solo compactado. A estrutura anatômica das raízes foi modificada com a compactação do solo, não sendo observado diferenças entre as cultivares. Palavras-chave: Coffea arabica L. Compactação. Morfologia. FisiologiaItem Manual do manejo orgânico do cafeeiro(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-04-06) Diniz, Lucas Muzzi Machado; Oliveira, Cleiton Lourenço deA produção orgânica de café (Coffea arabica) no Brasil tem aumentado nos últimos anos, impulsionada pela demanda do mercado por produções sustentáveis. O cultivo orgânico contribui para a saúde dos produtores e consumidores, não contamina o meio ambiente e tem o potencial de gerar renda para os agricultores familiares. A assistência técnica e extensão rural são fatores que contribuem para a adoção de novas práticas de produção sustentável, sendo que a EMATER-MG é um dos principais atores neste setor em Minas Gerais, que é maior produtor de café no Brasil. As publicações técnicas da EMATER-MG abordam diversos temas e contribuem para a disseminação de técnicas de referência para produtores e extensionistas, estando disponíveis de forma física e online. A proposta deste trabalho foi elaborar uma publicação técnica sobre o manejo orgânico do café arábica, aplicável para produtores e técnicos, com informações práticas de qualidade sobre este tema, impulsionando a produção orgânica e agroecológica com foco principalmente na agricultura familiar. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa com buscas em bases de dados, normativos e publicações técnicas. Estas informações foram selecionadas, sintetizadas e utilizadas para elaboração de uma proposta de manual a exemplo da Série Manual do Café (publicada pela EMATER-MG), no qual foram tratados os temas: implantação do sistema de produção orgânica do café, legislação, certificação, construção da fertilidade do solo, sementes e mudas, manejo de insetos e microrganismos, manejo de plantas espontâneas, diversificação.Item Otimização da experimentação no melhoramento do cafeeiro(Embrapa Café, 2023-09) Resende, Marcos Deon Vilela de; Alves, Rodrigo Silva; Oliveira, Antonio Carlos Baião de; Caixeta, Eveline Teixeira; Pereira, Antonio Alves; Mariz, Bruna Lopes
