Abstract
Cultivar IPR 106 resulted from a spontaneous hybridization between “Icatu IAC 925” and an unknow dwarf plant. It is a dwarf cultivar with high rusticity, late ripening cycle, large grains, excellent cup quality and resistance to some populations of the nematodes Meloidogyne paranaensis and M. incognita found in the state of Paraná.
Highlights
Coffee growers in Brazil is limited mainly by nematodes, which reduce yields and hamper the planting of coffee in infested areas
Meloidogyne exigua, M. incognita and M. paranaensis are the main nematodes in Brazilian coffee plantations (Gonçalves and Silvarolla 2007)
Apoatã IAC 2258, which is resistant to M. exigua (Fonseca et al 2008), M. incognita (Fonseca et al 2008) and M. paranaensis (Fonseca et al 2008, Andreazi et al 2015), has been the most widely used cultivar in infested coffee-growing areas
Summary
Coffee growers in Brazil is limited mainly by nematodes, which reduce yields and hamper the planting of coffee in infested areas. Apoatã IAC 2258, which is resistant to M. exigua (Fonseca et al 2008), M. incognita (Fonseca et al 2008) and M. paranaensis (Fonseca et al 2008, Andreazi et al 2015), has been the most widely used cultivar in infested coffee-growing areas. IPR 100, released in 2012, has been the only available Arabica coffee that is resistant to M. exigua (Rezende et al 2017), to M. paranaensis (Andreazi et al 2015, Sera et al 2017) and to some M. incognita populations (Sera et al 2017). IPR 106 represents a new option for coffee farmers in areas infested with M. paranaensis and M. incognita
