Pupuk Formula Tanaman Kopi [ Coffee Fertilizer ][Nov. 15, 2010 19:07:10]
In general, the coffee production in Indonesia is still low, at an average of 700 kg / ha / year, or only reached 60% of potential productivity. Efforts to improve the productivity of coffee, including by improving the quality of seeds, improved cultivation and processing, research and provision of fertilizer specific formula that is intended for the benefit of coffee plants grow and thrive. Efforts to improve productivity and quality coffee needs to be done, if given, is stable and its prospective price of coffee in the world market.
Fertilization incorrect dose, time, and do not cause the plants to grow well and optimal. Plants to be deprived of nutrients and excess fertilizer. Similarly, on the contrary, excess fertilizer doses can cause an imbalance of nutrients in the soil, damaging soil properties, and environmental pollution. A good fertilization requires the availability of fertilizers that contain all the nutrients that plants need are available when needed according to crop growth stage. Type a complete fertilizer such specific fertilizer plants include Gramafix ® .
By using a complete compound fertilizer Gramafix® Coffee, fertilizer needs only 35% of the total amount / dose of a single fertilizer commonly used such as Urea, SP-36 or KCl. One ha of coffee yield ( TM) , for example, only requires fertilizer around 100-200 kg / ha / year. Therefore, the use of tablet Gramafix® Coffee is very effective and efficient in order to increase farmers' income.
Single fertilizer needs - as recommendations related institutions coffee for the coffee plants at the age of 7 ( TM-5) , for example, 243 kg Urea + 216 kg and 241 kg of KCl SP will have equality with only 200 kg of fertilizer Gramafix® Coffee.
How to fertilization by creating a circular trench as deep as the tree approximately 10 cm, with a distance of tree canopy project ( approximately 1 m) . Or, make a hole in the circle ( in the disc around the base of the stem) , define and drill point - the point / hole for placement of fertilizer in the direction of the four corners of the wind ( 4 points or up to 8 points) . Immerse Gramafix® Coffee-half the recommended dose per year - that is to be divided evenly at every point at a depth of 10-15 cm from ground level. Fertilization is done once per 6 months or 2 times per year, could be fertilizing at the beginning and or end of the rainy season or any time of the garden soil is at a minimum moisture conditions for the release of nutrients from fertilizer reaction tablet.
One effort to improve productivity in a sustainable coffee is to increase production by fertilizing tablets along with improving the condition of land with organic fertilizer. The use of organic fertilizer will have an impact not only can improve soil nutrient levels and productivity of coffee plants, also controls the parasitic nematode attack.
Organic manure compost can be made of agricultural waste in the form of ( residual crop residues) and waste agricultural industry. The application of organic compost with the introduction into the moat size ( 100x40x40 cm) at a distance of 75 cm from the main plant. Events compost will help land the preferred coffee plants, among others, the top layer of deep, loose, fertile, many containing humus, and permeable.
Integrated use of fertilizer ( a combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers) will raise the present low productivity of 700 kg / ha / yr in order to achieve appropriate genetic yield potential can be up to 1, 500 kg / ha / yr * )
