Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento da parte aérea do cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) cultivar Rubi MG 1192 submetido a três doses de N, P e K e dois regimes hídricos durante o primeiro ano após o transplante, em 20 de novembro de 2000. O crescimento da planta foi avaliado aos 134, 196, 236, 284, 334 e 383 dias após o transplante (DAT). Houve resposta ao N e ao K no crescimento em número de ramos plagiotrópicos por planta, ao passo que no número de nós com gemas por planta, observou-se resposta apenas ao nitrogênio. Não houve resposta ao N, P e K no aumento da massa seca da parte aérea e no índice de área foliar. Além de mostrar efeito significativo no crescimento do cafeeiro, a irrigação antecipou o rápido crescimento para julho (236 DAT) proporcionando plantas mais vigorosas. Nas plantas não-irrigadas, o rápido crescimento ocorreu em meados de outubro (334 DAT). Entretanto, a irrigação não impediu a queda na taxa de crescimento durante o inverno. O desenvolvimento das gemas em frutos ou ramos secundários nas plantas não-irrigadas alterou a distribuição de matéria seca e reduziu o crescimento do caule, ramos e folhas.Termos para indexação: Coffea arabica, irrigação, adubação, déficit hídrico, solo de cerrado. Initial growth of Rubi coffee plant in response to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and water regimesAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate shoot growth of coffee trees (Coffea arabica L.) cultivar Rubi MG 1192 under three N, P and K doses and two water regimes during the first year after transplanting, starting on the 20 th November 2000. The growth was evaluated at 134, 196, 236, 284, 334 and 383 days after transplanting (DAT). Nitrogen and K affected the number of plagiotropic branches per plant. Nevertheless, only N affected the number of nodes with axillary buds. There was no growth response to N, P, and K in terms of the total shoot dry mass and leaf area index during the experimental period. Irrigated treatments presented the best plant growth results, provided more vigorous plants and anticipated the fast growth phase to July (236 DAT), but could not avoid growth rate decrease during the winter. The fast plant growth phase of non-irrigated plants occurred by the middle of October (334 DAT); in these treatments, the development of buds into fruits or secondary branches altered the dry matter distribution and reduced stem, branches and leaves growth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
