The Secret to Increasing Productivity and Quality of Coffee From Baconco

Enhance coffee quality and productivity with the duo KALIBO & COFOLI K300 from Baconco. Provides Potassium (K), Boron (B), and essential secondary nutrients, helping coffee plants grow well and develop a richer aroma and flavor.

Factors affecting coffee productivity and quality

To ensure high productivity and good quality of coffee, farmers need to pay attention to several important factors:

• Nutrition: Coffee plants require a balanced supply of macronutrients (N, P, K) and secondary & micronutrients (Boron, Magnesium, Sulfur, etc.) at each growth stage, especially during flowering, fruit setting, and fruit development.
• Watering: Coffee needs sufficient irrigation, especially during dry periods. However, care must be taken to avoid waterlogging.
• Care: Pruning branches to create canopy, weeding, and timely pest and disease control also play an important role in enhancing coffee productivity and quality.

• Planting Season: The most suitable time to plant coffee is at the beginning of the rainy season (around May or June). At this time, coffee plants have favorable conditions for growth and are less affected by pests and diseases. Coffee should not be planted during the dry season, as young plants are prone to wilting and dying.

• Planting Distance: The planting distance of coffee depends on various factors such as coffee variety, terrain, climate conditions, etc. 

• Typically, the planting density for Robusta coffee is 2,500 - 3,000 trees per hectare, and for Arabica coffee is 1,600 - 2,000 trees per hectare. 

• The spacing between coffee plants within a row is 1.5 - 2 meters, and the spacing between rows is 2 - 3 meters.

• Planting Techniques: Planting techniques play a crucial role in the growth process of coffee plants. In addition to selecting healthy seedlings that are disease-free and have a clear origin, proper techniques for digging holes, applying base fertilizers, covering soil, watering, and shading young plants also significantly impact coffee quality.

Potassium and Boron - The key to superior coffee productivity

Boron (B) plays a crucial role in pollination and fruit setting, while Potassium (K) ensures even ripening, increases fruit size, enhances quality, and improves flavor. Understanding this importance, Baconco introduces the duo of products KALIBO and COFOLI K300, an optimal nutritional solution for coffee plants.

Baconco offers a comprehensive nutritional solution for coffee plants with the duo of products KALIBO and COFOLI K300:

KALIBO soluble fertilizer - More fruit setting, reduces fruit drop:

• Composition: N (2%); P (2%); K (40%); B (1.8%); Mg (1.5%); S (12%).
• Benefits:
  • Provides both Potassium (K) and Boron (B) to plants during the flowering and fruit formation stages.
  • Improves fruit quality through growth regulation and protein synthesis mechanisms.
  • Good pollination, resulting in more fruit setting.
  • Increases vitality for crops.
  • Reduces flower and young fruit drop.
• Dosage: 30-45g/25 liters of water.
• Timing: Spray before the plant flowers and when young fruits are forming.

COFOLI K300 foliar fertilizer - Large fruits, even ripening, high quality:

• Composition: Effective Potassium (K₂O) (21%) in complex organic form, extracted from seaweed. Free from Chlorine, Sulfate, Nitrate.

• Benefits:

• Provides organic Potassium (K) for quick absorption by the plant.
• Helps fruits develop and ripen evenly.
• Enhances color, size, flavor, and weight of coffee beans.
• Increases plant resistance.

• Dosage: 30-45ml/20 liters of water.
• Timing: From fruit formation until 15 days before harvest.

Note: COFOLI K300 absorbs quickly; if it rains within 3 hours after spraying, there is no need to spray again.

The process of using a combination of KALIBO and COFOLI K300 for optimal effectiveness

To achieve the best results in increasing productivity and quality of coffee, farmers should combine the use of KALIBO and COFOLI K300 according to the following process:

Stage 1: Before flowering and fruit setting (flower bud formation stage):

• Use KALIBO at a dosage of 30-45g/25 liters of water.
• Spray evenly over the entire canopy, focusing on the branches bearing flowers.
• Timing of spraying: When the plant begins to show flower buds, about 7-10 days before the flowers bloom.
• Objective: To provide Potassium (K) and Boron to help coffee plants prepare well for the flowering, pollination, and fruit setting process, increase the fruit setting rate, and reduce flower and immature fruit drop.

Stage 2: After fruit setting and during the coffee bean development stage (fruit nurturing stage):

• Spray evenly over the entire canopy, focusing on the clusters of fruit.
• Timing of spraying: Periodically every 7-10 days, from the time the young fruit forms until 15 days before harvest.
• Objective: Provides Potassium to help the fruit grow quickly, ripen evenly, increase size, weight, color, and flavor of the coffee bean. Enhance resistance, helping the plant stay healthy against pests and diseases.

Important notes:

• It is recommended to spray KALIBO and COFOLI K300 in the early morning or late afternoon, avoiding spraying during intense sunlight or before rain.
• KALIBO and COFOLI K300 can be combined with other Baconco products to enhance overall effectiveness.
• Adhere to the recommended dosage and timing of use.
• Read the usage instructions on the product packaging carefully before use.

Benefits of combining KALIBO and COFOLI K300:

• Significantly increase coffee productivity.
• Improve coffee quality: large, firm, heavy beans, beautiful color, and delicious flavor.
• Help coffee plants stay healthy, increasing resistance to pests and diseases.
• Save costs and effort in care.
