Evidence of genetic tolerance to low availability of phosphorus in the soil among genotypes of Coffea canephora

L. D. Martins, Rodrigues, W. N., Machado, L. S., Brinate, S. V. B., Colodetti, T. V., Amaral, J. F. T., and Tomaz, M. A., Evidence of genetic tolerance to low availability of phosphorus in the soil among genotypes of Coffea canephora, vol. 14, pp. 10576-10587, 2015.

The expansion of agriculture to new areas in order to increase the competitiveness of coffee producing countries has resulted in cultivation expanding into regions with lower natural fertility. This scenario has created the need to differentiate genotypes of Conilon coffee based on their tolerance to low levels of nutrients in the soil, especially phosphorus, which imposes high limitations on crop yield in tropical regions.
