“…Para um manejo eficaz, é preciso considerar, além da produtividade, a influência dos espaçamentos sobre a bienalidade e o crescimento do cafeeiro, que está limitada a poucos trabalhos com enfoque na densidade de cultivo. Alguns autores recomendam estudos mais abrangentes a respeito do tema (Hernandez-Martinez et al, 2009), em decorrência da pouca discussão sobre o manejo de cafezais em diferentes espaçamentos de cultivo.…”

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as consequências da redução no espaçamento entre linhas e entre plantas na linha de plantio sobre o crescimento, a produtividade e a bienalidade de produção do cafeeiro (Coffea arabica). Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições, em esquema fatorial 4x3. Foram utilizadas quatro distâncias entre as linhas (2,0, 2,5 3,0 e 3,5 m) e três distâncias entre as plantas na linha de plantio (0,50, 0,75 e 1,00 m), o que totalizou 12 tratamentos. A produtividade e a produção por planta foram avaliadas anualmente entre 1994 e 2001, e o crescimento foi avaliado em 2002. A redução no espaçamento entre as linhas e entre as plantas na linha de plantio aumenta a produtividade da lavoura cafeeira. Os espaçamentos entre as linhas e entre as plantas influenciam o crescimento e a arquitetura dos cafeeiros.Termos para indexação: Coffea arabica, adensamento, manejo, fenologia. Growth, productivity and bienniality of coffee plants according to cultivation spacingAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate the consequences of spacing reduction between rows and between plants in the planting row on growth, productivity and bienniality of coffee plants (Coffea arábica). The experimental design was a randomized complete block, with three replicates, in a 4x3 factorial arrangement. Four distances between rows (2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 m) and three distances between plants in the planting rows (0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 m) were used, which totalized 12 treatments. The productivity and the production per plant were assessed annually between 1994 and 2001, and the growth was evaluated in 2002. The reduction of spacing between rows and between plants in the planting row increases the productivity of coffee plants. The spacing between the rows and plants influences the growth and architecture of the coffee plant.

“…Agricultural land (including coffee) take up 54.2 % of the total country territory, the remaining 45.8 % comprise of forest (28.8 %), wetlands and water bodies (11 %) (Nyandwi et al 2016) and urban areas (6 %). As with other cropping systems, the spatial distribution of coffee is a function of environmental drivers (soil, climate and topography) and human drivers (demography, infrastructure, technology and institutions) Veldkamp & Fresco 1997;Verbist et al 2005;Hernandez-Martinez et al 2009). Up to now, suitability for coffee cultivation in Rwanda was only assessed at the level of agro-ecological zone which is a highly aggregate spatial scale (Verdoodt and Van Ranst 2006).…”

Evaluating crop suitability is usually based on traditional land approaches in many countries, using only agroecological zoning and soil data. However, land use is also controlled by socio-economic and other biophysical factors. It is actually unknown how coffee suitability is influenced by such socio-economic and biophysical factors. Therefore, here, we studied all known factors that influence coffee production in Rwanda using an inventory of small holder coffee fields, including at least 200 coffee trees. We identified 29 potential factors, including demography, and environmental factors such as climate, soil and topography. These factors were reduced to 17 variables explaining 86 % of the total dataset variability, by factor analysis. The dataset was subsequently stratified into ten agro-ecological zones, yielding regional models that explain regional variability of coffee field density up to 54 %. Regional models show that 60 % of the actual coffee farms are located in suitable locations.

“…Se analizaron 18 fincas de café y tres fragmentos de BMM con el fin de aproximarse a un conocimiento integral del cafetal (Manson et al, 2008). Además, se reconoció la existencia de un gradiente de intensificación del manejo de los cafetales sobre la capacidad de estos agroecosistemas para conservar la biodiversidad (Hernández-Martínez et al, 2009). Se incluyeron también varios estudios sobre los cambios en el funcionamiento de estos agroecosistemas a través del monitoreo de servicios ambientales clave proporcionados por las fincas (e. g. secuestro de carbono, polinización, captación de agua y mantenimiento de la fertilidad del suelo).…”

Coffee is grown in agro-ecosystems designed by humans in tropical rain forests. Under diversified shade coffee retains much of the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems. After cereals, coffee is the agricultural product moving major currencies in international markets. It is produced in 50 countries by indigenous and peasants. In order to evaluate the coffee culture of central Veracruz region in Mexico, coffee production systems were studied and social organization manners were identified. The project had a transdisciplinary design. The network consists of 100 scholars, 10 organizations of producers and 109 companies in 52 municipalities. In four years (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013), 254 meetings were held with the participation of 6,400 persons. Each activity was thought looking at farmers, their business project and its own culture. C.

El cafetal bajo la sombra conserva una gran parte de la estructura y funcionamiento de los ecosistemas boscosos. Después de los cereales, el café es el producto agrícola que mayores divisas mueve en el mercado internacional. Se produce en 50 países, principalmente por indígenas y campesinos. Con el objeto de valorar la cultura cafetalera del centro de Veracruz en México, se estudiaron los sistemas de producción de café y se identificaron las formas de organización social. El proyecto ha tenido un diseño transdisciplinario. La red de este estudio está formada por 100 académicos, 10 organizaciones de productores y 109 empresas en 52 municipios. En cuatro años (2010-2013) se realizaron 254 eventos con 6.400 participaciones. Cada actividad se realizó teniendo en cuenta a los productores, su proyecto de empresa y su cultura.
