Item The Influence of Robusta Coffee Grounds Proportion and Fermentation Time on The Quality of Bokashi(Editora UFLA, 2025-04-28) Irfan; Fahmi, Rizal; Fadhil, M.; Sulaiman, IsmailThis research aimed to study the influence of robusta coffee grounds proportion as a mixture of raw materials for bokashi production and fermentation time on the quality of the bokashi. This research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with two factors and two replications. The first factor was the proportion of coffee grounds (A; 0, 10, 20, 30%), and the second was fermentation time (F; 0, 10, 20 days). Fish bone meal was added constantly to each sample as much as 5%. The analysis carried out on bokashi included microbial properties (total colony counts; TCC), temperature, chemical properties (pH value, water content, C, N, C/N ratio), descriptive organoleptic test (texture, colour, aroma), and plant growth test. The results showed that bokashi, with the addition of coffee grounds had better pH value, C content, and plant height, while worse in N content and C/N ratio. However, the C/N ratio value still met the standard (<20). There was no difference in pH, C, N, C/N ratio, and plant height among coffee grounds addition of 10% to 30%. The organoleptic characteristics of bokashi generally tend to be improved with fermentation time, although there was no difference among F2 and F3. The two best bokashi, namely A2F3 (10% coffee grounds and 20 days of fermentation) and A3F3 (20% coffee grounds and 20 days of fermentation) had similar characteristics, but A3F3 was the best since it had very significantly better plant height. The best experimental condition for the production of the bokashi was 20% coffee grounds proportion with 20 days of fermentation time.Item Alternative substrates for the production of clonal Coffea canephora seedlings(Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - Embrapa, 2024) Balbino, Tony José; Espindula, Marcelo Curitiba; Tavella, Leonardo Barreto; Teixeira, Richelly Gisela Pasqualotto; Bravin, Núbia Pinto; Dias, Jairo Rafael Machado; Bravin, Maísa PintoThe objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of coffee husk, elephant grass, and sugarcane alone or combined with each other or with commercial compounds, as well as their use as substrate for the production of clonal Coffea canephora seedlings. The experiment was carried out in two stages: one for the physicochemical characterization of the substrates, and the other for evaluations of the growth of coffee seedlings in these substrates. In the first stage, the treatments consisted of coffee husk (CH), elephant grass (EG), sugarcane (SC), commercial substrate (CS), vermiculite (VM), and their combinations. In the second stage, the standard substrate (soil) was also evaluated. CH presented a high electrical conductivity and density and a low aeration space and available water. SC stood out for its lower pH and density and its greater porosity. SC and EG were viable for coffee seedling production, not differing from the commercial and standard substrates. With the exception of CH+EG, CH+CS, and EG+SC, the combined substrates allowed of a greater seedling growth than the isolated ones. CH was only viable as a substrate when combined, especially with VM. Combining CH, SC, and EG to the standard substrate improves the quality of clonal C. canephora seedlings.
