Summary

A method is described whereby starch level in wood of Coffea arabica L. was estimated by means of visual scoring. The correlation between the amount of starch thus found and the quantity established by chemical analysis proved to be + 0.925, +0.932 and 0.819 in young, semimature and mature wood respectively. No satisfactory way was found for making a similar estimate of the amount of starch in the leaves.
