- EFFECTS OF HARVESTING ON LEAF PRODUCTION AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF Copernicia prunifera (Mill.) H.E. Moore Irlaine Rodrigues Vieira Jefferson Soares de Oliveira Maria Iracema Bezerra Loiola Agrociencias Carnaúba Traditional management Environmental sustainability This work aimed to evaluate the consequences of the monthly extraction of immature leaves in survival, leaf production and reproductive performance of Copernicia prunifera H. E. Moore palm, popularly known as carnaúba. One hundred sixty reproductive adult palms were monitored for 17 months in four extractive communities located at the coast of the state of Piauí. As a result, it was observed that leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds production were reduced in the palm submitted to 50% or 75% monthly extraction. Higher levels of extraction were followed by smaller levels in seed germination. No deaths were observed even in the group subjected to 75% monthly leaves exploration. In order not to produce damage to palm trees development it is suggested that leaf extraction rate should not exceed 25% monthly as well as pausing of extractive activity preferentially during fruit maturation. 2016 artículo científico 0100-6762 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48844658013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=488 Revista Árvore application/pdf Universidade Federal de Viçosa Revista Árvore (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.40
