Estudos sobre a alimentação mineral do cafeeiro: XIX. extração de micronutrientes na colheita pelas variedades "Mundo novo", "Caturra Amarelo" e "Bourbon Amarelo"

The contents of micronutrientes in coffee berries of the varieties ""Bourbon Amarelo", "Caturra Amarelo" and "Mundo Novo" grown in three different types of soils, namely, "terra roxa", "massape-salmourão", and "arenito de Bauru", have been determined. Statiscal analysis of the chemical data permits the following conclusions to be drawn: (a) there is no difference in the chemical composition of the three varieties; (b) the average content is as follows (in ppm): (c) one bag of dry, unprocessed coffe, has roughly equal total amounts of micronutrients both in the beans and in the hulls; zinc is an exception, however.
