Manejo de los factores de producción del cultivo de café (Coffea arabica) en el Ecuador”

Ecuador is the world's main coffee exporting country; in addition, Ecuadorian coffee is currently identified throughout the world for its cup quality. The information obtained was paraphrased, summarized and analyzed in order to obtain relevant information on the management of the factors of production of the coffee crop (C. arabica) in Ecuador. Based on the above, it was determined that the edaphoclimatic factors that intervene in the production and quality of the coffee crop are the following: Temperature, relative humidity, luminosity, relief, soil, precipitation, altitude and winds. The annual temperature that favors the development of coffee plants is 17 to 23 C°, while lower temperatures will cause chlorosis and impede the growth of the youngest leaves. Altitude can have an immediate effect on temperature and rainfall; the appropriate altitude for coffee cultivation is between 500 and 1700 meters above sea level. Coffee requires a humidity of over 85%, although there is a risk of being attacked by fungal diseases, especially fungi that affect the plants at special stages of their development, causing a decrease in growth, production and yield. In relation to the management of the main agricultural tasks in the cultivation of coffee are the following: Seedbed, transplanting, soil preparation, planting, planting distance, crop nutrition, irrigation, weed control, pruning, insect pest management, disease management, harvesting, drying, piling and transport
