Abstract

Conilon coffee trees can present divergent patterns for accumulation of dry matter and fruit development, which is resulted by genetic or environmental factors. The aim of this study was to quantify the accumulation of dry matter in aerial organs, as well as the productivity of Conilon coffee cultivated in irrigated or rainfed conditions. The experiment was carried out in Bahia State (Brazil), located in the Atlantic, along two years of evaluations. The experiment followed a completely randomized design, developed in scheme of split‑plot in time, with 14 repetitions. Treatments consisted of two cultivation scenarios during, irrigated or rainfed, in the plots and the time along the reproductive cycle in the sub-plots. The reproductive growth was assessed starting ten days after first flowering, and then, subsequently, every 28 days, until the complete ripeness of the fruits. The accumulation of dry matter in the fruits of Conilon coffee can be explained using sigmoidal models; while the number of branches and accumulation of biomass in the leaves present fit to linear models, regardless of the cultivation being irrigated or rainfed. The magnitude and intensity of the accumulation of biomass, however, is influenced by using irrigation, which prompts gains in accumulation of biomass per fruit.
