The aim was to evaluate the growth, yield, and physiological responses of Arabica coffee under programmed cycle pruning at varying stem densities.
Conducted in a randomized block design with four replications.
Utilized a 4 × 2 factorial scheme including four stem densities (4000, 8000, 12000, and 16000 stems ha−1) and two data collection positions on the plant.
Evaluated variables included leaf gas exchange, canopy structure, and grain yield.
PCP led to increased net photosynthesis with higher stem density under PCP.
Yield was higher in PCP compared to traditional pruning, with a nonlinear response to stem density.
PCP resulted in more uniform leaf gas exchange and prevented the occurrence of girdling.
