Eighty-five Coffea canephora genotypes were evaluated for three crop seasons under irrigation in the Cerrado of the Distrito Federal, Brazil, to characterize the population regarding phenotype, yield and maturation cycle. The experiment was conducted through the Basic Model of Repeatability without Design methodology. Regarding the cycles, genotypes were divided into four groups with the following periods, in days, from resumption of irrigation to the cherry stage: very early (243-255), early (256-267), medium (268-280), and semilate (281-293). For yield, the repeatability obtained was approximately 33%, a medium value that represents the proportion of the permanent phenotypic variance in relation to the total phenotypic variance. The average repeatability obtained surpassed 59%, and accuracy, with three crop seasons, reached 77%. The selection gains obtained may be higher than 38%. There are promising genotypes for cultivation in the region under study. The mean repeatability and the accuracy obtained favor selection based on phenotypes.
Reaction of soybean cultivars to the sudden death syndrome pathogens Fusarium tucumaniae and F. brasiliense Loss due to soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) has increased considerably in Brazil in recent years. Field data on reaction of soybean genotypes to SDS infection in the Cerrados is almost nonexistent. Therefore, the objective of this work was to characterize the reaction of soybean genotypes, adapted to the Cerrados, to SDS infection on field trials in areas with natural inoculum. Seventy one soybean genotypes were used in the experiments, sixteen early season, twenty eight midseason and twenty seven late season genotypes, in field trials located in four different rural properties around Brazil's Federal District. The experimental design used was the randomized complete block, with four repetitions. The characterization was performed using the levels of disease incidence and severity of foliar symptoms Genotypes with good levels of disease resistance were observed in all three maturity groups, cultivars and lines in the final stages of development.
The objective of this work was to determine the force required to detach fruits of Conilon coffee (Coffea canephora) genotypes in five maturation stages, to determinate the best stage for mechanized harvest, and to verify the possibility of future selections of genotypes adapted to mechanized harvesting. Harvests were carried out in the 2013/2014 crop season, and the detachment force was determined based for six fruits from each side of the crop row, collected randomly from the middle third of the plants. The detachment force curve was obtained for each cycle through logistic regression, using the R software. According to the duration of their cycle, the genotypes were divided into super early, early, medium, and semilate; the values of the coefficients of the detachment force curve equation were also obtained. There is genetic variability regarding fruit detachment force throughout the maturation cycle, which indicates the possibility of selecting genotypes adapted to mechanized harvesting. Fruit detachment force shows a considerable drop in the final stages of maturation. The raisin stage is the best for the mechanized harvest of irrigated Conilon coffee in the Cerrado.
