Coupling effects of water and fertilization on growth and water use of Coffea arabica seedling by Liu Xiaogang, Xu Hang, Cheng Jinhuan, Jin Longjie, Yang Qiliang, Huang Zhumei

“…C. arabica is an agricultural product with unique advantage in Yunnan Province, whose planting area and yield account for 90% of the whole country. However, its yield and quality are restricted because of seasonal drought and soil nutrient deficiency.To investigate the optimal mode of water-saving and high-efficient utilization of water and fertilizer of C. arabica, the coupling effects of water and fertilization on growth and water use of C. arabica were studied by using four irrigation levels, i. e. sufficient irrigation (W_S, soil moisture content was 75%-85% of soil field capacity), high water (W_H, soil moisture content was 65%-75% of soil field capacity), middle water (W_M, soil moisture content was 55% 65% of soil field capacity) and low water (W_L, soil moisture content was 45%-55% of soil field capacity), and four fertilizer levels of NPK (total nitrogen was 10%, P₂O₅ was 30% and K₂O was 20%), i. e. high fertilizer (F_H, 4.5 g/kg dry soil), middle fertilizer (F_M, 3.0 g/kg dry soil), low fertilizer (F_L, 1.5 g/kg dry soil) and no fertilizer (F_N, 0 g/kg dry soil). …”
