The nutrient requirements of coffee plants vary according to their phenological stages, with each nutrient playing specific roles in different structures and developmental phases. This study evaluated dry matter accumulation and the concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B in the leaves, branches, and reproductive organs of five Coffea canephora genotypes during three phenophases: flowering, fruit development, and fruit ripening. This work aimed to evaluate the distribution of nutrients in three phenophases in Coffeea canephora genotypes. Significant differences were observed among genotypes and phenophases. During flowering, leaves accumulated the highest amount of dry matter, but this pattern reversed in later stages, with greater accumulation in the fruits, especially during fruit ripening. The Verdim TA genotype showed the lowest dry matter accumulation in the branches across all phenophases. Genotypes A1 and Clementino presented the highest mean concentrations of P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, and Zn in the leaves during the fruit development phase, while Verdim TA showed the lowest concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mn, Zn, and B. Future studies may include additional phenological stages and quantify nutrient remobilization efficiency in each genotype, contributing to improved management recommendation.
