Summary

In some perennial crops, the use of inducers resulted in increased flowering and, therefore, fruit yield. However, this is an unexplored alternative in coffee. In this research, the effect of floral inducers gibberellic acid and / or potassium nitrate during the induction of nodes on the flowering and yield of a genotype of coffee variety Castillo® was evaluated. The study was carried out at the Naranjal Experimental Station of the National Coffee Research Center (Chinchiná, Caldas - Colombia) with genotype CX2720 coffee plants established at a density of 3,333 plants ha-1 with two stems per site. In a randomized complete block design with five replications, the floral inducers were evaluated: gibberellic acid (GA3 - 100 mg L-1), potassium nitrate (KNO3 - 15 g L-1), its combination (GA3 + KNO3), in addition to a control without application. Applications were made in November to affect the flowering of the first semester (January - June) of the next year. The number of average flower blossoms per branch, the yield of cherry coffee and the average of absolute growth rates for stem diameter, stem height and number of plagiotropic nodes were recorded. The application of gibberellic acid (GA3) and / or potassium nitrate (KNO3) did not increase the number of flower blossoms, the yield of cherry coffee or the vegetative growth. The semester of higher precipitation decreased the flowering synchrony among different treatments with respect to dryer periods.
