Resumo
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as respostas morfológicas do sistema radicular de quatro cultivares de café arábica submetidas a diferentes arranjos espaciais. Os espaçamentos adotados foram os de 0,40, 0,50, 0,60, 0,70 e 0,80 m entre plantas na linha, tendo-se mantido fixo 3,8 m na entrelinha. Aos 27, 35 e 39 meses após o transplantio, foram coletadas amostras de solo+raízes em três posições em relação aos caules das plantas e três profundidades. As raízes foram lavadas, coloridas, digitalizadas e processadas com o programa Safira. A cultivar Tupi RN IAC 1669‐13 apresentou sistema radicular com características morfológicas relacionadas à absorção de nutrientes e de água superiores às das cultivares Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144, Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62 e Catuaí Amarelo IAC 32, para todos os arranjos espaciais testados. A redução no espaçamento aumenta a abundância de raízes por volume de solo, sem alterar a qualidade morfológica do sistema radicular, nem aprofundá‐lo. Os sistemas radiculares das cultivares avaliadas são mais abundantes e apresentam superfície e comprimento específico maiores entre plantas adjacentes, seguidas das posições afastadas a 0,25 e 0,50 m do caule. A proporção de raízes na camada de 0,1 m de profundidade é maior que a na de 0,4 m, para todos os espaçamentos. A variação no espaçamento entre plantas na linha altera a morfologia do sistema radicular do café arábica.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphological responses of the root system of four Arabica coffee cultivars subjected to different spatial arrangements. The adopted plant spacings were 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, and 0.80 m between plants within rows, maintaining 3.8 m constant between rows. At 27, 35, and 39 months after transplanting, samples of soil+roots were collected at three surface positions in relation to plant stems and at three depths. Roots were washed, colored, digitalized, and processed with the Safira software. The Tupi RN IAC 1669‐13 cultivar showed a root system with superior morphological traits related to the absorption of nutrients and water, in comparison to those of the Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144, Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62, and Catuaí Amarelo IAC 32 cultivars, for all tested spatial arrangements. The reduction in spacing increases the amount of total root per soil volume unit, without affecting the morphological quality of the root system, nor deepening it. The root systems of the evaluated cultivars are more abundant and show higher surface and specific length between adjacent plants, followed by the 0.25 and 0.50 m positions away from the coffee stem. The proportion of roots at the 0.1 m layer is higher than at the 0.4 m layer, for all plant spacings. Changes in spacings between plants within lines affect the morphology of Arabica coffee root system.
