BALTAZAR-DA SILVA, Daniel Fernando et al. Agroclimatic characterization of the Uige province, Angola based on the development of Robusta Coffee. cultrop [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.1, e01.  Epub 01-Mar-2020. ISSN 0258-5936.

During 2018, this research was carried out with the objective of conducting an agroclimatic characterization based on the development of robust coffee in the Uigé province, Angola. The records of the climatic variables rainfall and temperatures were analyzed, as they are the ones that most influence the development and growth of coffee. The historical-logical method was applied to recover the information about the crop requirements and compare them with the edaphoclimatic conditions of the province. The climatic data of the region were recorded from the observations made in each municipality compatible with the information extracted from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) site, for the period 1990-2010. Suitability maps for temperatures and rainfall were generated from the use of GIS that allowed the manipulation of thematic information layers. The results allowed us to recognize that the largest area of Uigé province (86.3 %), has climatic conditions for the development of robust coffee, with loss of fitness in the municipalities of the west end of the province, whose main limitation was rainfall. The knowledge about the compatibility between the behavior of the climate in the Uigé province and the requirements of the robust coffee as part of the results of the agroclimatic characterization, allow the adoption of alternatives in order to minimize the limiting factors of the climate on the production of this species.
