Resumos
No presente trabalho são relatados os resultados de sete anos de um estudo feito sob a forma de ensaio de campo com a finalidade de verificar o possibilidade pratica da restauração de lavoura velha de café, no Estado de São Paulo, mediante o emprego da irrigação associada a outras práticas culturais. Foram estudados os efeitos da irrigação, inicialmente em diferentes dosagens, e os efeitos das combinações fatoriais de NPK (duas dasagens), presença e ausência de estêrco de curral, e presença e ausência de adubação verde intercalar, utilizando o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com canteiros subdivididos, com um total de 8 blocos, cada um com 8 tratamentos de 16 plantas, totalizando 2.856 árvores, inclusive as bordaduras, abrangendo a área total de 35.000 m². A adubação química completa, parcelada, foi empregado como adubação básica, figurando a dosagem simples de NPK como testemunha; as adubações orgânicas foram testados como complementares. O ensaio foi instalado num dos melhores talhões de cafèzal velho da variedade Bourbom Vermelho, plantado há mais de 30 anos, em terra de tipo arenito Bauru, desbravada de mato virgem, na Estação Experimental de Pindorama, do Instituto Agronômico do Estado de São Paulo. As análises da variância dos dados de produção revelaram que o efeito da irrigação foi significativo apenas na colheita de 1957, com um aumento de produção da ordem de 90%. Apesar do elevado aumento de produção, o significando estatística não ultrapassou o nível de 5%, devido o irregularidade dos produções dos blocos.
This paper reports and discusses results refering to a field trial set up to study irrigation and fertilization problems of old coffee groves. The seven year study, started 1953, was carried at a representative well coffee grove of Bourbon variety, about 35 years old, located in a typical sandy soil of the Bauru superior formation of the Pindorama Experiment Station, considered to well represent on extensive port of that formation where the bulk of coffee is at present produced in the State of São Paulo. Eight randomized blocks were used with a 2x2x2 factorial for the small treatments in each block, the following treatments being compared: complete chemical fertilizer in two dosages, with and without organic manure, with and without green manure as an annual intercrop. The irrigation treatments, the first two years, included application of 1 and 2 inches of water every three weeks, starting July, 2 inches storting August and no irrigation. The remaining 5 years the treatments compared were simply with irrigation and no irrigation. Irrigation application time was then mostly determined by soil moisture depletion, when about 50 millimeters were consumed from the 0-80 centimeter soil layer. Irrigation effect was significant only one year, with substantial increase in yield. The first two years irrigation apparently decreased yields. However, this result can be attributed to the effect of insufficient number of replications and to the fact that the blocks with no irrigation were benefited by their particular location in the field, where soil fertility was higher. The remaining years, although a balanced re-sampling was made to double the replications by reducing the irrigation treatments, the climate was generally more favorable to coffee production, thus minimizing the effect of irrigation. The use of green manure as an annual intercrop was shown to significantly decrease yields, in spite of the fact that seeds were inoculated and there was a basic substract of chemical fertilizer in all plots. The use of organic manure in the dosage of about 12 kg every year per coffee tree (which means o group of 3-6 trees originally planted in the some hole) did not increase yields. In no year the effect of double dosage of fertilizer was significant. The average basic dosage used was the following per tree per year: 311 g of ammonium sulphate (20,5% N), 162 g of calcium superphosphate (20% P2O5) and 145 g of potassium chloride (60% K2O). When yields of the treated plots were compared with yields of untreated border plot trees, it was shown an increase of about 38% due to the effect of chemical fertilizer alone. However, the present coffee economical situation in Brasil does not favor the use of fertilizers on o profit basis on the old coffee plantations of the type reported. Considering the advantages of forming new coffee groves according to modern techniques, where there was before pasture lond, a practice which is sure to grow in importance, it would be outdated to recommend expenditures to try to improve old coffee plantations. The irrigation equipmente used for the experiment and part of the laboratory equipment needed was acquired through a donation of the Rockefeller Foundation,, to which we owe due recognition.

SUMMARY
This paper reports and discusses results refering to a field trial set up to study irrigation and fertilization problems of old coffee groves.
The seven year study, started 1953, was carried at a representative well coffee grove of Bourbon variety, about 35 years old, located in a typical sandy soil of the Bauru superior formation of the Pindorama Experiment Station, considered to well represent on extensive port of that formation where the bulk of coffee is at present produced in the State of São Paulo.
Eight randomized blocks were used with a 2x2x2 factorial for the small treatments in each block, the following treatments being compared: complete chemical fertilizer in two dosages, with and without organic manure, with and without green manure as an annual intercrop.
The irrigation treatments, the first two years, included application of 1 and 2 inches of water every three weeks, starting July, 2 inches storting August and no irrigation. The remaining 5 years the treatments compared were simply with irrigation and no irrigation. Irrigation application time was then mostly determined by soil moisture depletion, when about 50 millimeters were consumed from the 0-80 centimeter soil layer.
Irrigation effect was significant only one year, with substantial increase in yield. The first two years irrigation apparently decreased yields. However, this result can be attributed to the effect of insufficient number of replications and to the fact that the blocks with no irrigation were benefited by their particular location in the field, where soil fertility was higher.
The remaining years, although a balanced re-sampling was made to double the replications by reducing the irrigation treatments, the climate was generally more favorable to coffee production, thus minimizing the effect of irrigation.
The use of green manure as an annual intercrop was shown to significantly decrease yields, in spite of the fact that seeds were inoculated and there was a basic substract of chemical fertilizer in all plots.
The use of organic manure in the dosage of about 12 kg every year per coffee tree (which means o group of 3-6 trees originally planted in the some hole) did not increase yields.
