N.  aDiversity among genotypes of conilon coffee selected in Espírito Santo State.h[electronic resource]  c2015  aThe  use  of  multivariate  techniques  for  factor  analysis  is  an  efficient  alternative  for  coffee breeding  programs.  This  study  aimed  to  evaluate  the  genetic  diversity  of  60  genotypes  of  conilon  coffee  based  on agronomic  performance  in  the  northern  state  of  Espírito  Santo  and  to  estimate  the  relative  contribution  of  different agronomic characteristics towards the diversity of the species. The data were collected in an experiment conducted on the Experimental  Farm  of  Bananal  do  Norte  (Instituto  Capixaba  de  Pesquisa,  Assistência  Técnica  e  Extenção Rural  ? INCAPER)  in  the  southern  state  of  Espírito  Santo,  and  12  agronomic  characteristics  were  evaluated  over  four  sequential harvests (4 years). Significant differences between  the genotypes were observed for all of the characteristics, indicating the possibility  of  exploiting  the  high  genetic  variability  to  classify  the  genotypes  into  different  groups  based  on  their similarities. Of the agronomic characteristics, the duration of the ripening cycle was the variable that contributed the most to the variability among the 60 genotypes, with a relative contribution of 70.02%.  aBiometry  aBreeding  aClones  aCoffea Canephora1 aTOMAZ, M.
