The role(s) of carbohydrates in growth and development of coffee
The carbohydrates which are produced in the leaves through the process of photosynthesis have significant role to play in crop production. In coffee rate of photosynthesis will be maximum when the light intensity is about 2000 foot candles. Light intensity beyond 6000 foot candles produce an adverse effect on the metabolic activities of the plant, which can be overcome by providing adequate shade. The deficiency of carbohydrates in the plant leads to berry drop and bean disorders (Black bean and Black jellow). The above physiological disorders can be minimised by carrying out all the estate operations in time. Preliminary results indicate that the berry drop in coffee can be controlled by spraying Alphanaphthalene Acetic acid compounds
