COMPARATIVO DA EFICIÊNCIA DE PRODUTOS FOLIARES EM PRÉ-FLORADA NO PEGAMENTO DE FLORADA EM CAFEZAL

Abstract

The flowering of the coffee plantation is one of the key moments for the coffee grower. She is the result one year of work and is of great importance, since it is in this short period that the pollination. However, there is no use in a large amount of flowers without their plant retention and its physiological evolution to the fully developed fruit stage. With this objective, this study seeks to observe the effects of the application of products via leaf in a coffee tree and evaluate its result in relation to the setting of the flowering. Thus, it is estimated to show results that allow a decrease in floral abortion resulting in higher productivity. The treatments performed were T1: control, T2: Cantus®, T3: Stimulate®, T4: ExpertGrow®, T5: Triplus® and T6: Crop + ®. Good responses were observed for all treatments tested. The products proved efficient in improving fruit retention rates, all of which differed statistically from the witness. It is thus permitted to say that the application of any of these five products represents the possibility of increasing the productive capacity of the crop.
