EFFECT OF THE PREFORM FERTILIZER ON NUTRIENT UPTAKE BY THE COFFEE TREE
V. Gregr, A. N. Sakongo
Summary
A model trial was conducted to investigate the effectiveness
of the PREFORM slow-release fertilizer upon the intake and utilization of nutrients
by the coffee trees. The fertilizer was applied to coffee trees cultivated in
containers. As the results show, the PREFORM'special fertilizer provides the
coffee tree with the nutrients needed for its growth and development throughout
its vegetation. Compared with the traditional NPK fertilizers, the availability
of PREFORM s nutrients is greater.
