C.  aGrowth and Quality of Clonal Plantlets of Conilon Coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) Influenced by Types of Cuttings.h[electronic resource]  c2014  aTo achieve high crop yield in agriculture, the production of plantlets of superior quality is one of the basic prerequisites. For conilon coffee, the current recommendation in the production of clonalplantlets through vegetative propagation is to use diagonal cuttings,  in bevel form. However, there are indications that other types of cutting have been successfully used to produce plantlets. In this context, this experiment was conducted with the objective of studying the development of plantlets of conilon coffee obtained by different types of cuttings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse. The cuttings were obtained from the middle portion of orthotropic stems of standardized plants. The experiment followed a split plot in time design, with three types of cuttings (bevel, sharp bevel and straight) and two times of evaluation, with four repetitions. At 30 and 120 days after planting, plantlets were collected and evaluated. The results show the increase occurred in the variables due to the straight cut when compared to the others, except for stem diameter. Emphasizing in this context, the straight cut promoted an increase in seedling height, production of biomass and in the Dickson?s quality index when compared to cuttings in bevel and sharp bevel.  aAsexual Propagation  aCoffea canephora  aMultiplication  aVegetative Propagation1 aMAURI, A.
