Measurement and simulation of solar radiation availability in relation to the growth of coffee plants in an agroforestry system with rubber trees Medidas e simulaçoes da disponibilidade de radiação solar relacionadas ao crescimento de cafeeiros em um sistema agroflorestal com seringueira

Solar radiation is an important factor for plant growth, being its availability to understory crops strongly modified by trees in an Agroforestry System (AFS). Coffee trees (Coffea arabica - cv. Obatã IAC 1669-20) were planted at a 3.4 x 0.9 m spacing inside and aside rows of monocrops of 12 year-ol...
