摘要:
This work aimed to investigate the influence of controlled water deficits on flowering and yield of Arabica coffee (L. cv. Obatã grafted on cv. Apoatã) in three different local conditions of São Paulo State, in the counties of Adamantina, Mococa and Campinas. Plants, with 2.5 years old, were cultivated at full sun, on spacing 2.5 m x 1.0 m, from July of 2001 to May of 2002, under the following water management: non irrigated (NI), irrigated continually (IC) and withholding irrigation by 30 days in the month of July (I30) and 60 days the months of July and August (I60). Irrespective of local cultivation, the irrigation provided larger yield of coffee per plant, with the largest significant differences observed in Mococa. The treatment I60 was able to impose a predawn leaf water potential (
