    Coffee seedling growthafter legume cultivation in soils with contrasting phosphorus contents
    (Editora UFLA, 2021) Pereira, Djalma Silva; Costa, Liovando Marciano da; Carmo, Davi Lopes do; Rocha, Ana Caroline Teixeira; Pereira, Antônio Alves
    Coffee seedling growth depends on soil phosphorus (P) availability and may be influenced by from pre-cultivation with legumes. Efficient and sustainable ways to increase the bioavailability of P through the recovery of P adsorbed by the soil matrix should be sought. This study proposed to evaluate the growth and P-use efficiency of coffee seedlings cultivated in soils with different P availability after cultivation with legumes. The experiment was carried out in a fully randomized design. Treatments were arranged in a factorial scheme [(2 x 4) + 1]: two soil types, pre-cultivation with four legume species, and one control (without pre-cultivation). The studied soils comprised a Typical Acriferic Red Oxisol (LVwf) with low-P availability and a Typical Chernossolic Litholytic Entisol (RLm) with high-P availability. The legume species Crotalaria juncea, Cajanus cajan, Canavalia ensiformis, and Mucuna aterrima were previously cultivated for 45 days. Afterwards, coffee seedlings were transplanted to the pots, which were then grown for 120 days until evaluations. We assessed the following parameters: plant height (H), stem diameter (SD), shoot dry matter (SDM), root dry matter (RDM), total dry matter (TDM), and shoot contents of macronutrients. Our results showed that coffee seedlings grew more when cultivated in the high-P availability soil, with increments of 13.05% in H, 4.86% in SD, 46.98% in SDM, 17.61% in RDM, and 41.80% in TDM.We also observed an increase of 28.09% in shoot P contents for coffee seedlings grown in RLm. Moreover, pre-cultivation with C. juncea provided the largest increases in coffee seedling growth compared to the control. When grown after C. ensiformis cultivation, coffee seedlings had the highest shoot contents of P, Ca, Mg, and S, which, compared to control, increased by 45%, 39%, 18%, and 17%, respectively.

    Alternative sources of potassium in coffee plants for better soil fertility, productivity, and beverage quality
    (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa, 2018-12) Dias, Kaio Gonçalves de Lima; Guimarães, Paulo Tácito Gontijo; Carmo, Davi Lopes do; Reis, Thiago Henrique Pereira; Lacerda, Julian Junio de Jesus
    The objective of this work was to evaluate alternative sources of potassium for improving soil fertility and coffee productivity and beverage quality. The experiment was conducted in a coffee (Coffea arabica) crop, planted in an Oxisol area, in the municipality of Patrocínio, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The treatments consisted of the K sources TK47 and Super Greensand (SG) – both based on glauconite silicate mineral –, at the following doses: 0 kg ha-1K2O (control); 42, 84, 168, and 336 kg ha-1K2O from TK47; 618 kg ha-1K2O from KCl; and 168 kg ha-1K2O from SG. A randomized complete block design was used, with four replicates in each treatment. The experimental units consisted of three rows with ten plants each, using the eight central plants as the useful plot. Potassium fertilization with TK47 increased soil fertility, correcting soil acidity and elevating K + , P, and Ca 2+ contents, effective cation exchange capacity, and Zn 2+ and Fe 2+ levels in the soil. Fertilization with 336 kg ha-1K2O from TK47, in a single dose, provides grain yield and polyphenol oxidase activity similar to those of fertilization with 618 kg ha-1K2O from KCl, in a split-dose, but a better sensory analysis of the resultant beverage.
