Cafetales arbolados

It presents a series of technical recommendations, both agronomic and silvicultural, to increase crop productivity and incorporate the management of trees or shrubs in the coffee system. Although the emphasis is on the Central Valley of Costa Rica, its content has national and regional application. This work offers agroforestry alternatives in which the coffee system is profitable, sustainable and biodiverse. It is also inspired by the creation of models that allow the transfer of planting technologies and the management of fruit, ornamental and timber trees and shrubs, whether in blocks, lines, boundaries, mixtures or in protected areas.
