Behavior of the growth de Coffea canephora Pierre ex Frohener under low pruning system or back cutting
Main Article Content
Abstract
The investigation was developed in the UBPC 14 of June located in the area of the Mandarin belonging to the municipality Tercer Frente, Provincia Santiago of Cuba, during the period 1997 at the 2002. The Coffea canephora ex Pierre Froehner was established at a distance of plantation of 3 m x 2 m under different shade types, in a Brown ochre soil without carbonates and to height of 150 msnm. A design of blocks was used at random with three replicates, the treatments consisted in: artificial shade with palm leaves, Leucaena shade, florid pine nut shade managed by the pinareño system and florid pine nut shade managed with rising of the glass. They Were carried out morphologic evaluations to the coffees, to the 12 and 24 months of having planted. It was evaluated: height of the plant, diameter of the shaft, diameter of the glass and number of branches plagiotropics and productively the agricultural yield was evaluated in t x ha-1 of green coffee during the first two crops. The cultural attentions were executed chord with the Technical Instructive of the coffee and cocoa. It concluded that the shade type didn’t determine the morphologic behavior neither productive and yields superior means were evidenced 1 t x ha-1 in the second crop.
