The transfer of this technology requires specific adjustments to adapt to local conditions, which has generated a series of questions in the context of Cuban coffee growing. In order to answer these questions, four groups of experiments were designed in the nurseries of the Jibacoa Agroforestry Experimental Stations, in the province of Villa Clara, and Tercer Frente, in the province of Santiago de Cuba, both belonging to the Institute of Agroforestry Research. In these experiments, the effect of the capacity and size of three types of tubes was studied, as well as different proportions of carbonized rice husk (CAC) and coconut fiber. In addition, the interaction of these variables with doses and application times of Multicote® (FLC) in the development of coffee seedlings in tubes was evaluated. The results showed that the highest morphological values of the seedlings were obtained in tubes with capacities of 180 cm³ and 220 cm³. The proportions of 50% CAC + 50% soil and 50% coconut fibre + 50% soil, combined with 2 g of Multicote®, presented the best performance, with no significant differences in height, stem diameter, number of leaf pairs and leaf area compared to the treatment of 50% CAC + 50% soil + 3 g of Multicote®. It was shown that the application of Multicote® increased the development variables evaluated up to doses ranging between 2 and 3 g per tube, depending on the experimental year. However, doses higher than this range caused a decrease in some variables of the seedlings, even with values lower than the treatment without fertilizer. When FLC is available, its application is recommended at the time of shaping the substrate, using a dose of 2 g per tube. If FLC is not available, it is suggested to apply conventional fertilizer at the time of mixing, with complementary applications on the third and fifth pair of leaves, respectively.}, }

Soil samples were evaluated in layers of 0-100 cm, analyzing pH, OM, P₂O₅, K₂O, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), using standardized methods. The results showed that 29% of the areas had acidic pH (≤4.5), with critical deficiencies of P₂O₅ (87% <10 mg/100g) and K₂O (73% <15 mg/100g). The application of dolomitic lime significantly improved pH and nutrient availability, increasing green coffee production. It was concluded that it is essential to implement liming, fertilization and soil conservation practices to optimize coffee productivity, adapting the strategies to the specific conditions of each area.}, }

The problem was based on the need to improve the quality of the seedlings and optimize the inputs in the nurseries. The experiment was carried out at the Jibacoa Agroforestry Experimental Station during three campaigns, using a randomized block design with 10 treatments and three replications. Three types of tubes (120 cm³, 180 cm³ and 220 cm³) and three fertilization times (mixed with the substrate, additionally applied to the third pair of leaves and to the third and fifth pair of leaves) were evaluated. Morphological variables and nutrient content were measured by chemical analysis. The results indicated that the highest morphological values were obtained in seedlings grown in 180 cm³ and 220 cm³ tubes when the fertilizer was mixed with the substrate and applied to the third and fifth pair of leaves, with no significant differences from the control in bags. In contrast, the 120 cm³ tubes showed the lowest values. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content increased with fertilization, highlighting the combination of initial application and two reinforcements. It was concluded that the use of 180 cm³ and 220 cm³ tubes, combined with an adequate fertilization strategy, favors the optimal development of seedlings, allowing their successful establishment in the field.}, }

The lack of organic matter in mountainous regions for the production of coffee seedlings has prompted the search for sustainable alternatives, such as the use of coconut fiber and controlled-release fertilizers. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effect of different proportions of coconut fiber (CF) and doses of Multicote® fertilizer on the development of coffee seedlings in tubes. An experiment was carried out in a nursery in Villa Clara, Cuba, using a factorial design (5x5x1) with 26 treatments combining soil-CF proportions (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and doses of Multicote® (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 g/tube). Variables such as plant height, stem diameter, number of leaf pairs, leaf area and dry mass were evaluated. The treatment with 50% FC + 50% soil + 2 g of Multicote® showed the best results in height, stem diameter, total dry mass and leaf area, with no significant differences with the treatment of 50% FC + 50% soil + 3 g of Multicote®. The absence of Multicote® resulted in lower development of seedlings at all soil-FC ratios. The combination of 50% FC + 50% soil + 2 g of Multicote® is optimal for the development of coffee seedlings. Multicote® fertilizer is essential for the growth of seedlings, since substrates without it do not provide the necessary nutrients.}, }

In Cuba, it was first detected in 1995 in Buey Arriba, Granma, which motivated the introduction of the parasitoid Cephalonomia stephanoderis for biological control. The objective of this work was to evaluate the biological efficiency of C. stephanoderis in the coffee ecosystems of the Buey Arriba region, between January 2022 and January 2023, on a 1.52 ha farm dedicated to the cultivation of Arabica coffee. Pest infestation assessments were carried out before and after the application of biological control, using a random design of 30 plants and viability analysis of the borer in the laboratory. The results showed that the application of the parasitoid reduced the infestation rate by 39.7%, indicating a significant improvement in pest control. In addition, the absence of shade in some plots contributed to a greater infestation, due to the rise in temperature and the decrease in humidity. The parasitoid attacked all stages of the pest, from the initial instars to the adults, achieving a reduction of more than 90% of the population in the stages selected for reproduction. In conclusion, C. stephanoderis is an effective and promising tool for the biological control of the coffee berry borer in Cuba, offering a sustainable alternative to this agricultural problem.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters of Cephalonomia stephanoderis for its application in the coffee ecosystems of the region. Between January 2022 and January 2023, evaluations were carried out under controlled conditions, analyzing variables such as sexual index, productivity, body length, and technical effectiveness. A predominance of females over males (average 9.4:1) and a marked sexual dimorphism were observed, with females larger than males. Productivity showed variability, with peaks during harvest and low values when grain availability was limited. Regarding technical efficiency, an average of 99.87% was obtained, exceeding previous values in trials in Cuba. This highlighted the effectiveness of Cephalonomia stephanoderis in reducing the population of the coffee berry borer, confirming its potential in biological control.}, }

The physicochemical characterization included analysis of pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium and other micronutrients using standard laboratory techniques. The results showed that Biol-Y23 had a pH of 4.83, suitable for coffee cultivation, and a high electrical conductivity (14.65 dS/m). A high content of organic matter (13.56 g/L) and essential macronutrients such as nitrogen (584.60 mg/L), phosphorus (201.80 mg/L) and potassium (1983.33 mg/L) was found. Significant concentrations of calcium and sodium were also observed, which shows its potential to improve soil fertility and health. In conclusion, Biol-Y23 represents a sustainable strategy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and improve soil quality, promoting plant-microbiota interaction and the recovery of degraded soils.}, }

The proposed strategy was structured in three stages: diagnosis, planning and application and control. In the diagnosis, deficiencies were identified, such as limited knowledge about waste management and its environmental impact. During planning, specific actions were designed to address these deficiencies. In the application and control stage, workshops, training and debates were implemented, with the results being continuously evaluated. The theoretical-methodological analysis confirmed the need for a strategic intervention, while the validation of the design by experts supported its viability. The strategy, characterized by being dynamic, flexible and participatory, showed potential to mitigate the harmful effects of coffee solid waste, promoting its sustainable management in Sagua de Tánamo.}, }
