Measurement of growth in single stem Arabica coffee
Various quantitative characters and fresh weight of different parts of Coffea arabica L. S.795 plants were recorded. All possible correlations were worked out. It was found that three measurements of growth, namely girth of the main stem, spread of the bush and mean diameter of the primaries of the bush were highly correlated and therefore important quantitative characters for estimating the weight of plant and its various parts. Height of the plant was not related to the weight of various parts of the plant as it is artificially controlled by topping in single stem arabica coffee. Girth, spread and mean diameter of primaries were highly and significantly correlated with berry weight
