Abstract

Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica L.) has the advantage of growing on marginal land and showing resistance to pests and diseases. To support optimal growth, Liberica coffee seedlings require appropriate growing media and nutrient sources. Cow manure and rabbit urine, as organic waste, are expected to provide sufficient nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cow manure and rabbit urine on the growth of Liberica coffee seedlings. The experiment was conducted from February to June 2023 at the Ciparanje Experimental Garden, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, using a randomized block design (RBD) with nine treatments and three replications. Treatments consisted of (A) soil + 2 g urea, (B) soil + 25% rabbit urine, (C) soil + 50% rabbit urine, (D) soil:cow manure (1:1) + 25% rabbit urine, (E) soil:cow manure (1:1) + 50% rabbit urine, (F) soil:cow manure (2:1) + 25% rabbit urine, (G) soil:cow manure (2:1) + 50% rabbit urine, (H) soil:cow manure (3:1) + 25% rabbit urine, and (I) soil:cow manure (3:1) + 50% rabbit urine. The application of cow manure and rabbit urine increased leaf area, root length, and chlorophyll index of Liberica coffee seedlings. The best growth was achieved with the combination of soil:cow manure (3:1) and 25% rabbit urine, which also increased the levels of total N, P2O5, and K2O in the seedlings.

Abstract

Robusta coffee plantations in Indonesia still have low productivity levels compared to other countries such as Vietnam, namely, 0.8 tons/ha and 2.48 tons/ha. One of the factors determining plant productivity is the use of seeds. The seedling phase in coffee plants is an important phase that greatly determines the quality of future plant growth and production. Increasing the growth of the seedling phase is usually done by fulfilling nutrients through the application of inorganic fertilizers. Intensive application of inorganic fertilizers at high doses can accumulate fertilizer residues that harm the soil and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the vegetative growth of Robusta coffee in the nursery phase by applying humic acid and Azospirillum sp. This research was conducted in June 2024 - September 2024 in the Ciparanje experimental field of Universitas Padjadjaran . The experimental design used was Randomized Group Design (RBD) with seven treatment combinations and repeated four times, each replicate consisting of three plants. Treatments included control, 40 mL/polybag Azospirillum, 20 mL/polybag Azospirillum, 10 mL/polybag humic acid, 5 mL/polybag humic acid, and a combination. The results showed that the combination of humic acid 10 mL/polybag + Azospirillum 40 mL/polybag had an effect on the increase in the number of leaves but did not show a significant impact on leaf area, chlorophyll index, stem diameter, and Azospirillum population.

Abstract

In recent years, productivity decline in arabica coffee has become a real issue in Indonesia. This decay has been brought about by various external and internal factors that are beyond human control. Various factors, including suboptimal cultivation practices, take part in this process. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of pruning combined with foliar fertilizer application (coconut water and sugarcane molasses) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the vegetative growth of arabica coffee plants during the production phase. The research was conducted at Ciparanje Experimental Field, Universitas Padjadjaran, using a randomized complete block design with seven treatments including a control (without pruning and foliar application), application of coconut water (75%, 750 mL L⁻¹), sugarcane molasses (2 mL L⁻¹), and BAP at 60 ppm, each applied with and without pruning, and four replications. In this research, the main parameters observed included the number and length of the lateral branches, leaf chlorophyll index, leaf area, canopy width, number of fruit clusters per branch and per tree, and coffee cherry fruit weight. It emerged that the combination of pruning and the use of sugarcane molasses at 2 ml/L significantly increased lateral branch formation, leaf area, and the number of fruit clusters per tree. The integration of pruning with foliar treatments effectively supported optimal growth of productive-phase arabica coffee plants.

Abstract

Tea productivity is strongly influenced by agronomic management practices, particularly fertilization and pruning, which play critical roles in regulating plant growth, physiological performance, and shoot regeneration. This review aims to synthesize current scientific evidence on how integrated fertilization and pruning management can sustainably enhance tea productivity. A narrative review approach was employed by collecting and analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 from reputable databases, including Google Scholar and major international journals. The review highlights that balanced fertilization strategies, combining inorganic, organic, and biofertilizers, significantly improve nutrient availability, photosynthetic efficiency, and shoot yield. Pruning, when properly timed and executed, stimulates vegetative growth, maintains canopy structure, and optimizes the distribution of assimilates. Several studies demonstrated that microbial-based biofertilizers enabled a 25% reduction in inorganic fertilizer inputs without compromising tea shoot yield, while optimum pruning cycles of four to five years-maintained productivity and canopy renewal. In addition, the proportion of pecco shoots was reported to decline from approximately 70% in the first year after pruning to 19% in the fourth year, emphasizing the importance of proper pruning management.  Importantly, the integration of fertilization and pruning practices produces synergistic effects, resulting in enhanced shoot density, improved yield stability, and long-term sustainability of the plantation. This review emphasizes that integrated nutrient and canopy management is essential to address productivity decline and environmental challenges in tea plantations, providing a scientific basis for developing climate-resilient and resource-efficient tea cultivation systems.
