Abstract
With the objective of determining the influence that it has more than enough some parameters of the growth and yield has the employment of different plantation densities in Coffea canephora, was developed an experiment in the area of investigations Scientist-Techniques of The Alcarraza, municipality Sagua de Tánamo, belonging to the Estación de Investigaciones de Café y Cacao of Velasco, Holguín province. The coffees were planted on a Brown gleyed soil without carbonates at 300 msnm and the parcels were prepared at randomized blocks design with four replicates. Four plantation distances were used: 3.5 m x 3.5 m; 3 m x 3 m; 3 m x 2 m and 3 m x 1.5 m that constituted the treatments. They were carried out evaluations of the height, diameter of the glass, diameter of the shaft and number of branches to the coffees and the yield of three crops was determined. To the obtained data was carried out a variance analysis of double classification and Duncan test of multiple ranges in the necessary cases. The variation of the plantation density didn’t cause a significant effect on the height of the coffees. The biggest values for the variable diameter of the glass, diameter of the shaft and number of productive branches were reached with the smallest spacing’s in the coffees. The increment of the plantation density produced a significant effect on the yield and it achieved an economic effect of $8770.59 per hectare for the distance of 3 m x 1.5 m.
