Email this article Establishment of algae as bio-fertilizer for coffee plant
Abstract
Background: Coffea arabica L. is belongs to the Rubiaceae, is worldwide value for the coffee beverage. This experiment is aims to prove algae as bio-fertilizer in Coffea arabica L. The role of BGA and moss prevent the soil as dry condition which also provide the nutrients for the crops.
Methods: Experiment was conduct in the plastic house in Kangwon National University, using the 2 yrs. Coffea arabica L. seedling dividing into four groups; Algae+NPK, Algae, NPK, Control.
Results: The height, branching and number of leaves is higher in case of Algae+NPK. The following order is observed in each group; Algae+NPK >Algae >NPK >Control with water.
Conclusions: The algae proves that the positive role of Coffea arabica for growth and development which can be used for the manure in the coffee farm.
