Effective irrigation methods for coffee trees Coffee trees, a moisture-loving crop, require a lot of irrigation water to grow and develop well. However, in recent years, the coffee area lacking irrigation water has been increasing. Therefore, the use of water-saving irrigation systems is an inevitable trend in the context of climate change. Let's study the effectiveness of different irrigation tools and techniques to make reasonable decisions about when and how much water to use. In coffee growing areas, there are usually at least 3 to 4 dry months each year. This period greatly affects productivity due to insufficient and untimely rainfall, leading to abnormal flowering. Conserving soil moisture and using soil effectively during the dry period will help avoid flower abnormalities and enhance the growth of the tree. Data and research According to data from the BMT Coffee Association (2021), Robusta coffee trees in Vietnam respond well to irrigation. The first irrigation in the dry season should be carried out 20-25 days after the rains stop, with 25 mm of water per irrigation. This helps to ensure that the soil is not waterlogged and the roots develop deeply, improving the stability of the tree. Sprinkler irrigation, commonly used in coffee growing countries, improves the nutritional conditions of the tree, ripens the fruit in a concentrated manner and yields increase by 85-95% compared to non-irrigated gardens (Naidu, 2000). Drip irrigation, used in Ivory Coast, saves up to 50% of water compared to sprinkler irrigation while the yield is not significantly different (Snoeck, 1988). Cost and benefit analysis Sprinkler irrigation, an improvement of drip irrigation, has the potential to save water and improve water use efficiency. Applying this technique in Gia Lai resulted in an average increase in productivity of 11.7 - 17.9% (Le Ngoc Bau, 2013). The initial investment cost is concentrated but reduces labor costs and saves labor by 70 - 80% compared to traditional irrigation methods. Conclusion Applying modern and water-saving irrigation techniques such as sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation is a feasible solution in the context of climate change. Using specific data and research to adjust the appropriate amount of water will help ensure high and sustainable productivity for coffee trees. Apply this knowledge immediately to improve the efficiency of caring for and managing your coffee garden! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS FOR PURCHASING AT VNPLANT COMPANY https://vnplant.vn/huong-dan-mua-hang...
