Abstract:
The present work had as objective evaluates the effect of different levels of deficits of
water in the soil (WD 0%, WD 33% and WD 67%) in the initial growth of the coffee plant conilon.
The experiment was driven home of vegetation of the Nucleus of Studies and of Núcleo de Estudos e
de Difusão de Tecnologia em Floresta, Recursos Hídricos e Agricultura Sustentável (NEDTEC),
municipal district of Jerônimo Monteiro-ES. The used vegetable species was Coffea canephora Pierre,
RobustaTropical variety (EMCAPER 8151), cultivated in vase of 12 liters by a period of 255 days.
The growth evaluations were accomplished every 60 days and the data analyzed by the technique of
answer surface. The initial growth of the coffee plant conilon in the absence of water deficit was larger
to the obtained in the waters deficits of 33% and 67%, in that the smallest values were verified to leaf
area, height of the plant and diameter of the stem.
