Summary

In order to identify the planting density of the stratified shade with which the highest yield of Castillo® Variety coffee was obtained, a work of research was carried out at the Villa Sofía farm, located in the Capellanía village, Charalá municipality, Santander department, at 6° 18´ N and 73° 06´ W; and an altitude of 1,480 m. The evaluated shade species were Erythrina fusca, Inga densiflora, Inga edulis, Pseudosamanea saman and Albizia carbonaria, established at planting densities of 70, 123 and 278 trees per hectare. The results, under the environmental conditions presented during the evaluation period and the agronomic management of the production systems, indicate that the best response in coffee production (22,382 kg ha^-1 of dry parchment coffee) occurred with the arboreal component of I. densiflora, P. saman and A. carbonaria, with a spatial distribution of 6,0 m x 6,0 m. The production under the species evaluated and spatially distributed at 9.0 m x 9.0 m was similar (12,687 kg ha^-1 of dry parchment coffee). With the tree component established at 12.0 m x12.0 m there was no response from coffee.
