Propagation
1.By seed
- Selection of mother plant
- Selection of beeries
- Harvesting of cherries
- Dipping in bucket
- Removal of pulp and mucilage substance
- Seed viability up to 4 months
- Preparation of bed ( 1m width, 20 cm height and required length).
- Planting of seed ( 10 cm * 5cm)
- Mulching
- Transplanting on poly bag
- Keep on shade
- By stem cutting
- Internodes of orthotropic suckers are taken from selected clones and rooted in special nurseries.
- Orthotropic stem cuttings are then grown into a well-shaped coffee plant.
- The internodal sections in the cutting prepared develop their roots in a porous substrate inside a propagator.
- The rooted cuttings are planted out in seedlings bags hardened-off under a shade in a humid environment.
- The successfully hardened clones are transplanted into the field after 6-8 months in the nursery.
