Resumo
The aim of this work was to evaluate the vegetative growth rate of coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.) and
its relation with climate variables on the Cerrado of Goiás State, Brazil, based on the seasonal growth
of orthotropic and plagiotropic branches with different ages in coffee trees under irrigation, water
deficit and without irrigation. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized block design
with four replications and 12 plants per plot. The experimental area was divided in three treatments:
plants with drip irrigation and without irrigation and submitted to water deficit for 30 days during
the dry season. The experiment was carried out with plants of seven years old growing under full
sun and spacing 2 m between rows and 0.90 m between plants within row. The climate variables (air
temperature, precipitation and relative humidity) affected on a seasonal way the vegetative growth rate
of orthotropic and the group of 1o plagiotropic branches of C arabica. All evaluated branches showed
similar seasonal growth, and the 1o plagiotropic branches showed different growth rates in the same period of the year. Growth rate of C arabica branches were reduced by minimal air temperature bellow
17 oC and water deficit. Thirty days of water deficit did not affect significantly the growth of C. arabica
branches; however, in non-irrigated plants significant differences on the branches growth was observed.
