Additional agronomic information
Presents high yield per hectare when established in full sun with no shade. It can present a greater unevenness in the ripening of fruits, caused by irregular flowering in years of greater rain frequency during the dry season. Overall beverage quality score (Specialty Coffee Association) = 70 points. Flavor attributes: Neutral, cereal, herbal. Highest fruit set will occur when planted with other clones in gametophytic compatibility Groups I and III, as this variety is from Group II.

History
This clone was selected in 1998 in a commercial area in the state of Rondônia, Brazil, and tested during eight harvests in Embrapa's experimental fields. Composed of the clonal variety of coffee called Conilon BRS Ouro Preto, it stands out for its vegetative vigor, productivity, and resistance to orange coffee rust, despite being sensitive to defoliation by winds. The genetic studies of its DNA classified this clone as a hybrid, coming from the natural crossing of plants of the 'conilon' and 'robusta' varieties. Due to its hybrid nature and the acceptance of the clone by the coffee farmers who cultivated it, the cultivar was registered individually, independently of the other clones that make up the Conilon BRS Ouro Preto variety. The organoleptic analyses to determine the beverage quality were carried out through the 'Brazilian Fine Canéphora Tasting Protocol' project, resulting from the Agreement between Embrapa Rondônia and the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development - ABDI.
