Item 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 PaulaAmong 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.Item 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 RobertoThe 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.

Objetivou-se, neste trabalho,identificar a tolerância diferencial de cultivares de Coffea arabica à deficiência de zinco, verificar como se dá a partição do nutriente nos órgãos da planta sob baixo e alto suprimento e discriminar que características de crescimento passíveis de serem avaliadas precocemente se correlacionam à tolerância ao baixo suprimento do nutriente. Mudas de 11 cultivares de cafeeiro foram cultivadas por oito meses em solução nutritiva nas concentrações de 0,0 e 6,0 μmol L -1 de Zn. Determinaram-se diâmetro do caule, altura de planta, número de ramos plagiotrópicos, volume de raiz, número de folhas, área foliar e produção de massa seca. Conclui-se que há variabilidade de resposta de cultivares de cafeeiro ao suprimento de zinco, sendo as cultivares San Ramon, IPR-102 e Rubi, dentre as estudadas, as mais tolerantes à restrição no seu fornecimento e a cultivar São Bernardo a menos tolerante à baixas doses de Zn. Em condições de suprimento adequado ou elevado de zinco esse se acumula em raízes e caules, que podem servir como órgãos de reserva do nutriente, enquanto que em condições de deficiência há maiores concentrações em folhas apicais. A produção de massa total é a característica de maior importância relativa na discriminação das cultivares quanto à resposta ao suprimento do nutriente.
