Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems

Agricultural Systems, 2022, vol. 201, issue C

Abstract: The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written descriptions, and ingenious drawings and graphs. The mathematical representation of coffee pruning systems has never been attempted. Until now.
