Planting skills of herbaceous coffee trees

I. Planting time: April 15 - 25.

II. Planting location: plain, hillside, wasteland, house in front of house, forest fruit tree seedlings can be planted, but it is not suitable to plant in tall trees or other unventilated places.

Third, herbal coffee does not like big water and fertilizer, conditional planting can use farm manure, during the growth period, such as drought irrigation 1-2 times the best, absolutely do not allow the use of various fertilizers and herbicides.

IV. Growth Habits

Coffee beans like warm, drought-resistant but not cold-resistant, afraid of freezing, seedlings and adult plants vulnerable to frost defoliation death, seeds can not mature. Coffee beans on the land requirements are not strict, idle land can also be planted, but with good drainage, deep soil layer, loose fertile sandy soil is appropriate.

V. Planting techniques

Seed selection: before sowing, seed germination rate should be tested. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing the seeds with full seeds into a plurality of parts, sequentially numbering, respectively taking 125 - 250g from each part and putting into a vessel with corresponding numbers, soaking in warm water at about 50 DEG C for one day and night, pouring water, washing with clean water once, covering with wet cloth to maintain humidity, sprouting after three days, and selecting the seeds with germination rate above 85%.

Land preparation: in the selected plots, 2000~2500 kg of manure and 25 kg of calcium superphosphate are applied per mu, evenly scattered on the ground, ploughed, raked and leveled, generally not for bedding. If you make a bed, you can make a flat bed 1.2~1.5 meters wide.

Sowing: the superior seeds selected through the test are soaked in warm water at 50 DEG C for one day and night, and after they absorb water and expand, they are taken out and dried on the surface, so that they can be sown. The sowing period is from Qingming to grain rain (mid-April), the temperature is 15~20℃, too early, the ground temperature is low, the seeds are easy to rot in the soil; too late, the seeds cannot mature, affecting the yield and quality. Sowing is suitable for drilling, row spacing 50~70 cm, 5~6 cm deep groove, seed evenly scattered in the groove, covered with soil 3 cm, slightly suppressed, about 10 days after sowing seedlings. North drought days, to first irrigate after sowing, do not sow after watering, so as not to affect the emergence of topsoil hardening.

VI. Field management

Loosening and weeding: When the seedlings are 3~6 cm high, thin the seedlings and pull out the weak seedlings or over-dense seedlings; when the seedlings are 10~13 cm high, the seedlings are fixed, and the plant spacing is about 30 cm. At the same time of thinning and fixing seedlings, loosen the soil and weed, keep the soil loose. Coffee beans are more drought-resistant, soil moisture can be maintained normal growth, dry days, appropriate watering, but in the seedling period should be less watering, to white dew (early September), fruit tends to mature, can stop watering.

Topdressing: seedlings about 35 cm high, plant ridge sealing, seedlings applied 20 kg calcium superphosphate, ammonium sulfate 10~15 kg, mixed in the rows, and then cultivated soil, fertilizer buried in the soil, and can prevent plant lodging.

VII. Pest control

Gray leaf spot was the most common disease of coffee bean, and its pathogen was a semi-known fungus, which mainly damaged leaves. At the beginning, light brown spots appeared in the center of the leaves, and then gray mold appeared on the spots. Before or at the beginning of the disease, spray 500 times of 65% zinc solution or 800~1000 times of 50% special solution to eliminate bacteria. Insect pests mostly occurred in late spring and early summer, mainly aphids, with dimethoate emulsion prepared into 200 times solution spray treatment.

VIII. Harvesting, processing and storage

Coffee beans to the autumn equinox (late September) when gradually mature, when the pods become brown harvest, the whole plant cut dry, play seeds, to net impurities, that is, into. Coffee beans should be stored in a ventilated, dry and cool place, pay attention to moisture and prevent rodents.
