Cara Pemupukan Tanaman Kopi dari Awal Tanam hingga Panen

Summary

This video provides essential guidance on the fertilization of coffee plants, emphasizing the importance of correct timing, methods, and types of fertilizers to maximize yield. It covers the specific needs of various coffee plant varieties (Arabica, Robusta, Liberica) and the impact of factors like altitude and climate on growth. The video details the right quantities of fertilizers such as Urea, SP36, KCL, and Dolomite, along with optimal fertilization periods during the rainy season. Practical tips for fertilizing plants of different ages are also discussed to enhance both the quality and quantity of coffee production.

Takeaways

• 😀 Fertilizing coffee plants plays a crucial role in determining the quality and quantity of the coffee harvest.
• 😀 Indonesia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world, with varieties like Arabica, Robusta, and Liberika.
• 😀 The choice of fertilizer and timing significantly affects coffee plant productivity and growth.
• 😀 Fertilizers should be applied at the beginning and end of the rainy season, ideally in the morning or late afternoon.
• 😀 Organic fertilizers can be mixed with inorganic ones to maximize plant nutrition.
• 😀 Coffee plants require specific fertilizers such as urea, SP36 (TSP), KCl, and dolomite.
• 😀 The quantity of fertilizer varies with the age of the coffee plant: from 80 grams per plant at age 1 to 565 grams per plant at age 10+.
• 😀 Fertilizer should be applied in the areas where plant roots accumulate to ensure effective absorption.
• 😀 During the rainy season, fertilizer application should be avoided as heavy rain can wash it away.
• 😀 Coffee plants begin to flower at age 3 and bear fruit at age 4, which is an important time for fertilization to improve yield.
• 😀 Regular fertilization helps maintain soil health and supports sustainable coffee farming in Indonesia.

Q & A

Why is fertilizing coffee plants important?

Fertilizing coffee plants is essential to increase their productivity and improve the quality of coffee beans. It provides the necessary nutrients to support healthy growth and better yields.

What are the main types of coffee grown in Indonesia?

Indonesia grows three main types of coffee: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. Each type has distinct characteristics, such as the size and shape of leaves and the altitude at which they are grown.

What factors affect the production and quality of coffee?

The production and quality of coffee are influenced by several factors, including the variety of the coffee, the altitude of the plantation, the management of the farm, fertilization, harvesting techniques, and post-harvest technologies.

What is the optimal time for fertilizing coffee plants?

The best time for fertilizing coffee plants is at the beginning and end of the rainy season. Fertilization should also be done during the morning or evening to minimize nutrient loss due to evaporation or leaching.

Can organic and inorganic fertilizers be mixed?

Yes, organic fertilizers can be mixed with inorganic fertilizers to provide a balanced nutrient supply to the coffee plants. This helps in enhancing growth while improving soil health.

How often should coffee plants be fertilized?

Coffee plants should be fertilized twice a year: once at the start of the rainy season and once at the end of it. Fertilizing during the rainy season helps maximize the uptake of nutrients.

What fertilizers are typically used for coffee plants?

Common fertilizers used for coffee plants include Urea, SP36 (or TSP), KCL, and Dolomite. These provide essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.

What is the recommended dosage of fertilizers for a 1-year-old coffee plant?

For a 1-year-old coffee plant, the recommended fertilizer dosage is 20g of Urea, 25g of SP36 or TSP, 15g of KCL, and 20g of Dolomite per plant.

What should be the fertilizer dosage for a 5-10 year-old coffee plant?

For a coffee plant aged 5-10 years, the recommended fertilizer dosage per plant is 150g of Urea, 80g of SP36 or TSP, 100g of KCL, and 100g of Dolomite. This is to be applied twice a year.

Why is it recommended to plant fertilizer rather than sprinkle it around the coffee plant?

It is recommended to plant fertilizer to ensure better nutrient absorption by the roots. This method ensures the nutrients reach the root zone and are not washed away or lost.
