Abstract
The investigation was developed during the understood period from 1996 to 2003. The experimental area was located in the town “Severiana”, located among the coordinated N: 167.00 and E: 509.00, in the Basic Unit of Agricultural Production (UBPC) “April 4”, belonging to the Coffee Company of the municipality Buey Arriba, Granma province. On a Brown Sialitic soil to 200 msnm and with pending drop, (6 %) low grove of pinenut florid Gliricidia sepium (Jacq) ex Kunth Walp. After the crop (February, 1996) it was applied low pruning or back cutting to the plantation, to 0.30 m of the surface of the soil and the treatments that consisted on leaving from three to seven offspring’s or head axes for plant settled down and one in which the low pruning was not applied which was left to free growth with reparation pruning (Witness). During two years the variables of growth: longitude of the offspring, diameter of the glass, number of offspring for plant and diameter of the offspring were evaluated. The statistical analysis carried out showed significant differences among the treatments for all the variables in study (except for the longitude of the offspring’s during the first year). We can conclude that to the two years the variable longitude of the offspring and diameter of the glass presented their best results in the treatments of more number of offspring for plant; while the variable number of offspring and diameter of these had better behavior in the treatments of smaller quantity of buds per plant.
