Plantation CropsCrop growing guide
Coffea arabica / Coffea canephora
A perennial plantation crop whose ideal climate differs between Arabica and Robusta, but always needs deep, well-drained soil and seasonal feeding.
Coffee nutrition cannot be separated from species and site. Indonesian guidance places Arabica broadly in cooler highlands and Robusta in warmer lower elevations. Both prefer deep, crumbly, well-drained soil around pH 5.5–6.5 with useful organic matter. Waterlogging restricts roots, while a controlled drier interval helps synchronize flower initiation before rain triggers bloom.
Coffee carries the next harvest on healthy branches produced earlier in the cycle. Feeding therefore moves from post-harvest recovery and vegetative flush, to pre-flowering phosphorus, then potassium and balanced nutrition during cherry development. Soil and leaf analysis are especially valuable on established plantations because exported nutrients, shade, rainfall, and expected yield vary block by block.
Roots, balanced growth, organic matter
Use mature organic matter and light, split nutrition. Young coffee roots are easily stressed by concentrated fertilizer and stagnant water, so prioritize drainage and a stable root-zone environment.
Nitrogen, balanced NPK, branch renewal
Rebuild reserves and support the new branches that will bear a later crop. Pair balanced fertilizer with compost and retained leaf litter rather than relying on one large dose.
Phosphorus, balanced canopy, moisture timing
Prepare roots and reproductive growth without forcing soft new leaves. Apply phosphorus early enough to integrate into the root zone, then avoid disturbing the crop as flowering begins.
Potassium, balanced NPK, even water supply
Developing cherries draw strongly on potassium and overall nutrient reserves. Split feeding, keep mulch in place, and avoid large swings between dry and saturated soil.
Match each product to the crop stage and root zone. Final rates should follow the product label, soil condition, and local agronomic advice.
Special organic blend formulated for plantation crop growth and crop quality.

Post-harvest recovery · Cherry development and filling
A crop-oriented blend for coffee and other aromatic plantation crops, supporting balanced seasonal nutrition.
Use in split applications after harvest and again during active cherry development, following the product label.
Spread under the productive canopy toward the drip line, keep away from the stem, lightly incorporate into moist soil, and water when rain is not imminent.
Apply around the active root zone or mix into the planting media according to the package label, then water lightly. Adjust the amount to plant size, soil condition, and crop stage.
Most Balanced NPK 5-5-5 Organic Nutritional Fertilizer
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)

Seedling and establishment · Post-harvest recovery
Balanced 5-5-5 nutrition is useful as a foundation when young plants establish or bearing trees rebuild after harvest.
Apply at establishment in light amounts, then after harvest or at the start of the rainy-season flush for mature trees.
Distribute in a broad ring over the active feeder-root area. Split the planned amount and combine with compost or leaf mulch for steadier soil conditions.
Use Alitura's Reserve as a base feed at planting and as a top-up through the growing season. As a general guide, work a small handful into the soil around each plant or mix it into potting media before planting, then reapply every 4 to 6 weeks during active growth. For garden beds, broadcast evenly over the soil surface and lightly incorporate, then water in well. Powder works best mixed into soil or media. Always water after applying and adjust the amount to plant size and soil condition.
Natural Source of Phosphorus
From IDR 27.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Flower-bud development
Its high natural phosphorus suits root support and the reproductive transition before bloom.
Apply well before expected flowering, not as a rescue dose after flowers are already open.
Side-dress around the feeder-root zone, lightly mix into topsoil, and water. Use a modest amount and determine the field rate from soil status and the product label.
Work Seabird Guano into the soil or planting hole before sowing or transplanting, mixing it well around the root zone. For established plants, side-dress around the base and lightly incorporate into the topsoil, then water in. It is most valuable at the start of the flowering and fruiting stages, when phosphorus demand peaks. The powder form mixes easily into soil and potting media. As a general guide, apply a modest handful per plant or per planting hole and scale with plant size; always confirm exact rates for your crop and soil. Because the phosphorus releases slowly, it can be applied as a base fertilizer well ahead of peak demand.
