In coffee, fruit production on a given shoot drops after some years of high yield, triggering pruning to induce re-sprouting. The timing of pruning is a crucial farmer's decision affecting yield and labour. A reason explaining fruit production drop could be the exhaustion of resources, particularly the non-structural carbohydrates (NSC). To test such hypothesis in a Coffea arabica agroforestry system, we measured the concentrations of NSC, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in leaves, stems, and stumps of the coffee plants, 2 and 5 years after pruning.
