EVALUACIÓN PRODUCTIVA DEL CAFÉ ARÁBIGO SARCHIMOR 4260 (COFFEA ARABICA L) A DIFERENTES FUENTES DE FERTILIZACIÓN ECOLOGICA

Abstract

This study evaluated the productivity of Sarchimor 42 60 Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L) using different sources of organic fertilisation. The methodology was experimental, and for this purpose, analysis of variance was used, applying a randomised block design with a 4x3+1 factorial arrangement. Factor A was identified as the fertilisation sources with four levels: mycorrhiza, worm humus, agricultural gypsum and micro-essentials, and factor B was identified as the three doses used for each of the products mentioned. The variables analysed at the production level are: weight of 100 g of ripe fruit, weight of production in g/parchment plant, weight of 100 g of dry parchment coffee, conversion from cherry coffee to gold coffee, and yield in kg and quintals per hectare. The results obtained indicate that the best treatments in the second harvest, with a production of 7.39 qq/ha, were mycorrhiza + 25 g of urea and worm humus with a dose of 1.5 + 25 g of urea; The cost-benefit ratio confirms that the best treatment is mycorrhiza at a dose of 0.5 + 25 g of urea, followed by worm humus at a dose of 1.5 + 25 g of urea, without neglecting agricultural gypsum at a dose of 100 and 150 g + 25 g of urea. The results obtained promote the use of ecological fertilisation in coffee cultivation.
