Objective
Present and discuss the development of the coffee tree from seed to fruit through the interaction of knowledge from the areas of morphology, phytotechnics, physiology, agrometeorology and edaphology, in order to stimulate critical analysis of the country's coffee production system.
Content
Taxonomy. Morphology of plant organs. Origin of the species and agroclimatic zoning. Coffee production system, soil preparation and crop implementation. Germination, seedling formation, plant growth and development. Fruiting phenology. Carbon and nitrogen metabolism and partitioning of photoassimilates. Critical level of nutrients in the soil and plant and interpretation. Fertilization methods: formation and production. Classification of grains and beverages.
