Elementos principales para la preparacion de un vivero en el cultivo de cafe en el ecuador

Abstract

Coffee cultivation is a perennial plant that is produced mainly by seeds, which is why it is essential to have a plant material that guarantees physical and phytosanitary quality, which also allows the producer to obtain healthy and vigorous seedlings, which have a minimum mortality when grown. Lead to the final plantation, therefore, environmental factors must be taken into account, which group biotic and abiotic conditions. In the establishment of the nursery, a series of activities must be implemented that provide a potentially productive plantation. Coffee plantations are very important for Ecuador, because millions of people are involved, most of whom depend on their production and the other part on marketing. Currently coffee production in Ecuador is low; however, due to its geographical location, Ecuadorian coffee is one of the best in South America and one of the most demanded in Europe and the United States. This titling work was carried out with the purpose of obtaining information on the preparation of a coffee nursery, with the essential requirements to obtain good quality seedlings and thus achieve more productive plantations. The information that is presented in the realization of the same, was obtained through a review and bibliographical research, of works published and carried out in other places and Ecuador on coffee nurseries.
