Running head: ATTACHMENT REPORT6 2.1.1 COFFEE ESTABLISHMENT Before one involves in coffee establishment, he must register with Coffee Board of Kenya CBK).A suitable site for coffee growing is identified. Coffee seeds must be bought from a certifiedcompany. For instance, the Field Station gets its Ruiru 11 seeds from Ruiru Coffee ResearchFoundation. The field for coffee establishment is made ready six months before planting. Flatground is required for coffee establishment. To achieve this, harrowing must be done beforecoffee holes can be made. 2.1.2 NURSERY ESTABLISHMENT The ground chosen for nursery establishment must be fairly sloppy to ensure good waterdrainage thus preventing flooding.The ares should not have many trees which may result into shading.There should be a reliable source of water for the nursery seedlings. Nursery should be established 1.5m wide to make handling easier.A suitable media must be chosen for the nursery. Sand is preferred due to its good drainageability and ease of uprooting the seedlings during transplanting. The depth of the nursery should be at most 0.5m. The seeds are then placed at 2.5 cm intervals.Seeds usually take one to two months to germinate with at least a couple of leaves. Theseseedlings can then be transplanted to pots that have a medium of sand, soil and manure in theratio of 3:2:1 respectively. Seedlings take 8-12 months before they are ready for transplantinginto the field. 2.1.3 CANOPY MANAGEMENT Ads the name suggests, this isthe organisation of the shoots, leaves and fruit of the grapevine plant in order to maximise the quality of the microclimate surrounding them, thus improvingquality and yield. It entails:I. PruningII. Changing cycleIII. HandlingPRUNINGIs the selective removal of plant buds, branches or roots. Can be done by removing single plant parts or multiple parts. Secateurs is often used in pruning.
