Abstract

The effects of soil moisture stress on the growth and flowering of Coffea arabica Linn. were studied in 1966.

The vegetative growth of coffee plant such as stem diameter, elongation of main stem and lateral branches, number of lateral branches and nodes of lateral branches, decreased with an increase in soil moisture stress.

Reduction of available soil moisture delayed flowering of coffee plants and decreased the number of trees that flowered. However, the number of nodes with flowers in a plant, the number size of flower produced per node, the total number of flowers produced per plant, and the number of fruits borne per plant did not vary significantly among treatments.
