Additional agronomic information
Presents high yield per hectare when established in full sun with no shade. It has small, narrow leaves that allow good air circulation inside its crown. It is susceptible to the root-knot nematode, and is susceptible to coffee leaf rust. Beverage quality score (Specialty Coffee Association) = 70 points. Flavor attributes: neutral, no attributes worth highlighting. 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 the span of eight harvests in Embrapa's experimental fields. It makes up the clonal variety of coffee called Conilon BRS Ouro Preto, having distinguished itself from the others for being the most compact, with short internodes both on its support stems and on its producing branches, allowing its cultivation in dense systems (distance of up to 0.5 m between plants). It is also recognized for presenting high yields in its first commercial harvest. 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.
