Café agroforestal manejado con insumos químicos sintéticos y orgánicos

CATIE with national collaborators established long-term coffee system experiments in Costa Rica and Nicaragua to study the ecological interactions created by different shade environments and conventional and organic management practices. Baseline data have been taken of soil characteristics, monitoring of coffee, tree growth and production, weed and disease incidence, and management costos. Treatments have created distinct shade environments varying from 5-50 percent cover, as well as different weed floras and soil nutritional conditions. In the first harvest full sun production was greater than shaded coffee, and conventional greater than organic. The experiments should become outdoor laboratories for students and collaborating scientists; they also could serve as a reference for coffee farmers and technicians.
