Abstract
An experiment at full solar exhibition planted coffee plantations of the species Coffea arabica L. cv. Isla 6-14 was conducted in the Estación de Investigaciones de Café Jibacoa, Villa Clara province, in order to find the best irrigation regime for coffee trees during the growth phase as well as the effect of the planting density. A randomized block design was used with four replications and six treatments resulting from the combination of three irrigation regimes and two planting densities. The soil moisture was determined through gravimetric method and kept over the established rates by means of tricklers with a performance of 4 L/h. After 36 months were conducted morphologic valuations and the obtained data were processed according to a bifactorial analysis. The results showed that the biggest morphologic developments and production volumes were achieved with the watering application, without they were significant differences when it was carried out between 75% and 85% CC. The biggest heights and the smallest cup diameters of the plants were achieved in the biggest density. The bioclimatic coefficients increased with the increment of the level of humidity in the soil.
