INTRODUCTION

Coffee Plant is a plant that is very familiar in their yards rural population in tropical countries. If this tremendous potential we can use commodity is not hard to make this a mainstay in the plantation sector. Just need a little technical touch cultivation right, undoubtedly optimistic expectations into reality.

LAND PREPARATION

  • To land the mountains / tilt create terraces.
  • Reduce / add a fast growing shade trees approximately 1:4 to 1: 8 of the total coffee crop.
  • Prepare a mature manure as much as 25-50 kg, transmit Natural GLIO, let stand one week and make the planting holes 60 x 60, or 75 x 75 cm with a spacing of 2.5 x2, 5 to 2.75 x 2.75 m at least 2 months before planting

Nurseries

  • Prepare a quality seeds from trees that have been known production of breeder seed is usually reliable.
  • Create a box or bumbunan soil for seeding with a thick layer of sand about 5 cm.
  • Create a shield with a midrib or paranet with a gradual reduction if the seedlings have grown
  • Flush nursery with a routine by looking at soil wetness
  • Seeds will germinate approximately 1 month, select healthy seeds and do the transfer to polybags with hati2 for root does not end at the age of seedlings 2 -3 months after initial seeding
  • Add fertilizer NPK as basal fertilizer (see table) until the age of 12 months
  • Pour SUPERNASA dose of 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water, take 250 ml per tree of the solution
  • After 4 month old seedlings, spray two NASA POC cap per tank once a month until the age of 7-9 months and ready for seed planting

- Avoid the risk of death of new crops from livestock disturbance.

Sprinkling
Do watering if the ground is dry or dry season

Fertilization

  • Fertilization of NPK is given twice a year, the beginning and end of the rainy season.
  • After fertilization should be watered.

Pruning
Perform regular pruning after the end of the harvest (cut weight) to adjust the shape of growth, reduce water bud branches (wiwilan), reduce evaporation and aims in order to form flowers, and repair the damaged plants.
Pruning at the beginning or end of the rainy season after fertilization

HARVEST

  1. Wrinkled seeds: origin of the fruit is still young
  2. Seed cavity: coffee powder attacked
  3. Seeds reddish: Lack of clean wash
  4. Seed rupture: parer less than perfect, coming from an infected fruit powder, when stripping the coffee machine is too dry.
  5. Seeds of rupture followed by color changes: the evaporator and separator machine with seeds less than perfect skin, fermentation in wet processing less than perfect.
  6. Seeds striped: drying is incomplete, too long storage, storage temperature is too moist.
  7. 7. Seed Pale: for too long kept in the humid
  8. 8. Seed-skinned ari: Drying is not perfect or too long, the initial temperature artificial drying is too low.
  9. Seeds black gray: the artificial drying temperature is too high.
  10. Dark brown spots: the artificial drying, the coffee is not often stirred / inverted.
