Biochemical Composition Variation among Southern Ethiopian Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) Genotypes by Meseret Degefa, Sentayehu Alamerew, Ali Mohammed, Adeba Gemechu

“…The presence of significant (P<0.05) differences among the examined accessions for most of the traits considered was revealed by analysis of variance, and a wide range of variation was detected for several traits, indicating that the coffee germplasm accessions have high genetic variability.
