Estudio del efecto de la fertilización mineral y orgánica sobre la productividad de un cultivo de café híbrido

Abstract

Abstract:Mineral fertilization treatments were evaluated: simple, compound, organic, simple + organic, compound + organic and control, during the productive stage of F1 Catimor Hybrid coffee code 2, in order to find the treatment with the highest production and profitability, the design Experimental was randomized complete blocks, evaluating the weight of the cherry harvest by treatment, as post-harvest natural drying was used for the conversion of cherry to green coffee. The results indicate that the simple mineral treatment obtained better performance, followed by the treatments; compound, simple + organic and compound + organic, which have no significant difference from each other, the organic treatment had a lower production than the treatments mentioned above, but exceeded the production of the control treatment. The highest cost / benefit ratio was obtained by the simple treatment followed by the treatments, compound, simple + organic, compound + organic, control and organic. It is concluded that the simple mineral treatment obtained the highest profitability and production of green coffee / ha / year, the high organic production costs cause a low profitability of the plantation.
