II. NURSERY ESTABLISHMENT
AND MANAGEMENT FOR
ORGANIC PRODUCTION OF
COFFEE
A. SEED SELECTION
1. Choose seeds from trees which are
5-8 years old.
c. Soil pH range:
Arabica Coffee: 5.3 to 6.2
Robusta, Excelsa, Liberica : 4.5 to 6.5
d. Free from soil-borne pests and diseases.
e. Near water supply.
f. Accessible.
g. Relatively fertile and preferably sandy
loam or silt loam soil.
a. Cleaning.
b. Digging and pulverizing.
10 meters 30 cm
An ideal seedbed is one meter wide with any suitable length but preferably 10
meters and 30 cm height/ deep. Organic compost should be thoroughly
incorporated during leveling.
c. Application of basal organic fertilizers (alnus
compost, on-farm compost)
d. Leveling the seedbed and watering.
e. Furrow making- 2.5 cm apart and 2.5 cm deep
2.5 cm
f. Sowing
Sow seeds with the flat
surface downward at
2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
distance.
Robusta Coffee:
- 3m x 3m or 4m x 4m
Liberica/Excelsa:
- 4m x 5m or 5m x 5.5m
Hole for planting seedlings should be 50cm wide x
50cm deep.
Brush weeding is
recommended to the newly
planted seedlings up to tree
development. Brush weeding
helps in soil surface run-off.
Non-bearing trees
2-5 kg well decomposed organic
compost per tree. Apply whole amount
during the onset of rainy season.
2. FERTILIZATION
Bearing trees
PESTS
a. Coffee Stem
borer- Attacks
standing trees
whether
bearing or non-
bearing.
Damage caused by
stem borer
b. Coffee berry borer- infests the coffee
berries whether immature or mature, ripe or
unripe.
Coffee berry borer
c. Mealy bugs and scale insects- sucks
juice of plant shoots.
Physiological-
overbearing, N-
deficiency, hard pan of
soil, etc.
Pathological micro-
organisms
c. Sooty mold- infects leaves,
branches, twigs and berries
Procedure:
The shoot is cut-back when the coffee tree
reaches one (1) meter. Thus, the main trunk
develops strong and longer branches having more
laterals. This is also done on newly planted coffee
trees.
CAPPING
DETOPPED/CAPPED ARABICA COFFEE
TREE
VI. REJUVENATION
Rejuvenation- To make young again.
Studies on rejuvenation revealed that this
method could bring back coffee green bean
yield to 100% and 50% reduction on labor
cost.
Bolo/Machete
Pruning Saw
2. Dehorning-
cutting of the old
coffee tree wherein
portions of the
branches together
with the main trunk
are left for the sprouts
to emerge.
METHODS/ TECHNIQUES
3. Bending -the whole main branch (trunk) is bent closely parallel to
the ground, the trunks and branches are held in place with metal
wires. Sprouts will emerge from the bent trunk. Once the sprouts
starts to flower, the upper portion of the main trunk (canopy) is cut.
1. Depulping
Removal of the
coffee pulp
Depulping should
be done
immediately after
harvesting the
coffee berries to
avoid fermentation
of berries
2. Fermentation
Remove
floaters
before
washing the
fermented
parchment
coffee with
clean water.
4. Drying of washed parchment
coffee
