ABSTRACT
Rust is the main disease affecting Coffea arabica, the most economically important coffee species. The objective of this study was to analyze C. arabicacultivars with different levels of rust resistance, including bean size, raw bean appearance, finalsensory scores (FSS), and aromaand taste nuances of the coffee cup. The experiment was designed in randomized blocks (RBD) with three replications and 20 treatments (cultivars), totaling 60 experimental plots. The rust-susceptible cultivars IPR 100, Rubi MG 1192, and Topázio MG 1190 were compared with 17 rust-resistant cultivars.Cultivars IPR 103, MGS Aranãs, and SaíraII presented the highest percentages of high sieves, highest scores of raw bean appearance, and low percentages of mocha-type beans. All cultivars had FSS above 82 and were classified as specialty coffees. The cultivars with the highest FSS (Arara and Catiguá MG2) showed a greater diversity of coffee cup aroma and flavor nuances. Rust-resistant Arabica coffee cultivars are promising for the physical quality of beans and have potential for the specialty coffee market.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic traits of coffee tree progenies. The experiment was set in Ouro Verde Farm, located at Campos Altos County, MG. Twenty three coffee progenies and seven control cultivars were used. These progenies are from the fourth generation of crossing between Timor Hybrid and Catuaí. The experiment was set in a randomized block design with four replicates, a total of 120 plots with 8 plants per plot. The yield of processed coffee sacks ha-1 was evaluated in eight crop years from the 2003 to the 2011 harvests. The percentage of fruits at the cherry stage, floating fruits, coffee classification (sieve above 17), income and plant vigor were evaluated in the 2010 and in the 2011 harvests. It was concluded that the progenies showed a great variability for the agronomic traits. Progenies 514-7-4-C130, 493-1-2-C134 and 518-2-10-C408 had the highest yield in the four two-year periods. The progenies 436-1-4-C26, 516-8-2-C109, 493-1-2-C134, 518-2-10-C408, 514-7-16-C211 and 514-7-16-C208 presented the highest values for plant vigor. Progeny 493-1-2-C134 stood out in all analyzed traits, showing to be promising for the advance of the generations.
Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o comportamento agronômico de progênies de cafeeiro. O experimento foi instalado na Fazenda Ouro Verde, situada no Município de Campos Altos-MG, compreendendo vinte e três progênies e sete cultivares utilizadas como testemunhas. Essas progênies referem-se à quarta geração do cruzamento entre Híbrido de Timor e Catuaí. Foi utilizado o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, totalizando 120 parcelas, sendo cada parcela constituída por oito plantas. A produtividade em sacas de café beneficiado ha-1 foi avaliada em oito colheitas, de 2003 a 2011. Nas colheitas de 2010 e 2011 foram avaliadas a porcentagem de frutos no estádio cereja e de frutos chochos, a classificação do café (peneira 17 acima), renda e vigor vegetativo. Conclui-se que as progênies apresentaram grande variabilidade para as características agronômicas estudadas. As progênies 514-7-4-C130, 493-1-2-C134 e 518-2-10-C408 apresentaram os maiores valores de produtividade na média dos quatro biênios avaliados. As progênies 436-1-4-C26, 516-8-2-C109, 493-1-2-C134, 518-2-10-C408, 514-7-16-C211 e 514-7-16-C208 apresentaram as maiores notas de vigor vegetativo. A progênie 493-1-2-C134 se destacou em todas as características analisadas, mostrando-se promissora para o avanço de gerações.
ABSTRACT
Conduziu-se este trabalho com o objetivo de avaliar progênies de cafeeiro resultantes do cruzamento entre 'Icatu' x 'Catimor', quanto à produtividade e vigor vegetativo e selecionar progênies superiores para avançar no programa de melhoramento dessa população. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições, 30 tratamentos (29 progênies do cruzamento mais a cultivar Rubi MG 1192, utilizada como testemunha). Para análise de variância dos dados adotou-se o esquema de parcela subdividida no tempo. Foram analisados a produção em sacas beneficiadas.ha-1 de seis colheitas 2001/2002 a 2006/2007 e o vigor vegetativo avaliado após a colheita 2006/2007. Os resultados obtidos permitem verificar a presença da variabilidade genética para produção entre as progênies avaliadas, fato confirmado pela alta estimativa da maioria das progênies estudadas, demonstraram que é possível selecionar progênies superiores na população estudada.
The objective of this research was to evaluate coffee progenies resulted from the crossing of 'Icatu' with 'Catimor' in relation to their production and plant vigor and to select higher quality progenies to advance the breeding program of this population. For this purpose, a randomized complete block design was carried out with four replications and for the analysis of variance, the Split plot temporal arrangement was adopted. Twenty nine progenies plus the Rubi MG 1192 cultivar, used as a control, were evaluated. The yield of beans in bags.ha-1 of six harvests from 2001/2002 to 2006/2007 was evaluated and the plant vigor after the harvest was assessed. The results indicated that the evaluated progenies showed variability mainly for grain yield confirmed by heritability. This condition associated to high bean yields, which reached 62.0 bags.ha-1 and high plant vigor, showed the possibility of selecting outstanding progenies in the studied population.
