Abstract:
|
"The main objective of this guide
is to provide coffee farmers with
reference information to improve
their current coffee seedling survival
percentages one year after planting.
Seedling survival after one or two
seasons is currently a challenge
which must be addressed head-on.
In addition to addressing the critical
issue of seedling survival, new and
inexperienced coffee farmers need
help from registered and known
coffee farmers who understand the
soils where the coffee grows and can
manage the health of the plant. Such
farmers know what it takes to keep our
crops in good productive condition as
well as increase sustainable harvests
so the yields from gardens are
optimal. This is important because a
massive effort is currently being put
into supplying seedlings to farmers in
order to increase the standing stock
of coffee trees in Uganda."
