ATTEMPTS AT INDUCING UNIFORM RIPENING IN ROBUSTA COFFEE (COFFEA CANEPHORA PIERRE EX-FROEHNER) WITH 2,4,5-T AND GA |
| Author: | S.A. Adenikinju |
| Abstract:
2,4,5-T at 50 ppm sprayed on green coffee berries produced a significant increase in percent ripe berries over the control; GA at strengths from 10 to 500 ppm delayed ripening, but at 1000 ppm produced a non-significant increase. Some of the problems associated with possible commercial use of chemically induced coffee ripening are discussed. | |
