EMCAPA 8141-Robustao capixaba: a cloned variety of drought-tolerant Conilon coffee in Espirito Santo :

The genetic material of Conilon coffee (Coffea canephora) developed by the Espirito Santo State Research Company for Agriculture and Animal Husbandry -- EMCAPA is tolerant to drought and targeted to farmers located in the driest areas of the state for whom irrigation is not possible. Cv. EMCAPA 8141-Robustao Capixaba was the first cloned variety developed for the Espirito Santo dry regions. This new variety presents the following characteristics: short plants, suitable for cutting and high planting density; fruits ripening uniformly from May to June; median fruit sieve above 15; average productivity for regions under water stress of 54 bags (60 kg each) of processed coffee/ha, reaching a maximum of 112 bags; plants with high vigour, reduced loss of leaves and tolerance to main diseases such as leaf rust [Hemileia vastatrix].
