Microclimate under the Cup of Papaya Planted in the North-South and East-West Directions

The objective of this work was to evaluate the variations environmental factors under canopy papaya planted in a north-south and east-west orientation. Two areas were studied, one oriented other east-west, both with spacing 3.20 mx 2.40 m, April 2015. distances from line (levels shading) place full sun, where it evaluated, North-South direction: planting line, at 40 cm west side, east side sun; East-West In on north south sun. following atmospheric variables determined: temperature, irradiance relative humidity. Tukey's test used compare means confidence level 95%. Papaya direction, conditions provided lower incident irradiation, reduced temperature higher values ​​of humidity its canopy, compared direction. It is possible intercrop direction agricultural crops, including conilon coffee.
