Single-Stem Pruning of Coffee.

Abstract

A trial to compare several techniques of single-stem pruning of Coffea arabica was conducted at the Highlands Agricultural Experiment Station, Aiyura, over a five-year period from February , 1959, to March, 1964, using a field of 'Blue Mountain ' coffee planted in 1954. The results indicated no significant yield difference between techniques and that there was no advantage in heavy pruning.
