Developed by researchers from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation in Rond\u00f4nia (Embrapa Rond\u00f4nia), the Campinas Institute of Agronomy (IAC) in S\u00e3o Paulo, and the Minas Gerais Agricultural Research Corporation (Epamig), the new variety produced more than 30 bags per hectare in Rond\u00f4nia and Acre, compared to the Brazilian national average of 22. Native to Ethiopia and considered the most flavorful coffee bean, Arabica is normally grown at higher altitudes. The states of Minas Gerais and S\u00e3o Paulo are Brazil\u2019s biggest producers. In northern Brazil, many families make their living by planting Robusta coffee (<em>Coffea canephora<\/em>), but demand for Arabica is on the rise. Since 2005, researchers have been working on the traditional genetic improvement of <em>C. arabica<\/em>, evaluating and selecting genotypes favorable to growth in places with lower altitudes and higher temperatures, like Amazonia. \u201cWe are minimizing the effects of high temperatures and boosting productivity,\u201d says project coordinator Alexsandro Teixeira, an agronomist with Embrapa Rond\u00f4nia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coffee developed by Embrapa is planted successfully in Amazonia","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-218160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218160\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218160"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=218160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
