This method consists in the establishment of functions that enable the classification of a given individual into one, among various distinct populations, reducing the probability of a misclassification. It simultaneously considers measures of several traits, in order to give the new variety homogeneity. The original classification of genotypes in the three studied varieties, based on agronomical criteria, maintained expressive concordance with the results of the discriminant analysis, with an apparent deviation rate of only 6.25%. Corrected discriminant functions were also proposed, capable of classifying a new genotype into one of the three clonal varieties to be used in improvement programs, eliminating the subjectivity of the clustering process.  aCoffee  aGenetic improvement  aGenotypes  aBiotecnología  aCafé conilon  aCoffea canephora  aGenética  aGenotipos  aPlantas para uso industrial1 aSEDIYAMA, T.1 aCRUZ, C.
