Abstract

It is one of the most important crops on a global scale since it occupies the second place in commercialization only behind oil, being cultivated in more than 70 developing countries, resulting in direct employment for more than 20 million people. Therefore, it plays a primary role in the economic and social structure, standard of living and development of these countries, which are motivated by an increase in demand on an international scale, the economic needs of being able to produce foreign exchange as it is a crop whose production 95% is destined for export. In Ecuador, coffee is a fundamental product in the economic sphere due to the generation of foreign exchange and income that its export implies. In the social sphere, its production generates employment and income for families and other actors in the chain; benefiting large and small producers nationwide. The production and productivity of Ecuadorian coffee plantations are affected by other factors due to the presence of old plantations, the use of less productive varieties, poor crop nutrition, inadequate weed control, high incidence of pests, diseases and in general due to little or no technological management of coffee plantations. 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.
