Author(s): Yara Karine de Lima Silva* and Farlla Cristina Gomes
Brazilian agricultural production has been implementing sustainable production technologies that help producers achieve high productivity at reduced cost, in addition to reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. The present work, faced with the demand for studies on this subject, aimed to quantify the production of shoot matter, carbon sequestration and nutrient flow of the cover plant cover plant Brachiaria ruziziensis (treatment 1) and spontaneous weeds (treatment 2) between the rows of the coffee tree and to identify the interference of the coffee tree and cultivar spacing. The experiment was carried out in the field in a completely randomized design with 15 replications. Treatment 1 was allocated in the Bourbon plot planted with the cultivar Bourbon Amarelo (IAC J10) at a spacing of 4.0 m between rows and 0. 66 m between plants where Brachiaria was mechanically s..
