Additional agronomic information
Resistant to water stress, however, irrigation is recommended. Even in conditions of high water availability, its leaves demonstrate the behavior of plants under water stress. Presents high yield per hectare, 120 60-kg bags. Beverage quality score (Specialty Coffee Association) = 75 points. Attributes: Sweet aftertaste, soft. This cultivar is established in full sun with no shade. Highest fruit set will occur when planted with other clones in gametophytic compatibility Groups I and II, as this variety is from Group III.

History
This clone was selected in 2001 in a commercial area in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. It was tested during the span of 11 harvests in Embrapa experimental fields in the municipalities of Porto Velho and Ouro Preto do Oeste, where it stood out for its ability to produce high yields (greater than 150 bags per hectare) while maintaining high granulometry (grade greater than 16). In terms of unfavorable characteristics, its susceptibility to the root-knot nematode and its low tolerance to water stress stand out. It can also present bifurcations in the productive branches. 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.
