Leaves were removed from coffee trees after harvest at six percentage levels: zero percent (control), 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 percent. A linear regression equation determined from the experimental results showed that yields declined as percent leaf removal increased. The effect of leaf loss should be taken into account in evaluating coffee harvesting systems.
