Abstract
The research was carried out in Villaflores, Chiapas, Mexico, which is located between parallels 16° 15 ‘14’ ‘North latitude and the meridian 93º 15’ 22 ‘’ of West longitude, with an altitude of 557 meters above sea level and has a warm humid climate. The objective of this research was to assess the response of coffee plants in nursery stage, managed under an organic approach, by using three organic fertilizers (compost, bocashi and vermicomposting) employed at different proportions (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%). The experimental design was a completely randomized with an array of bifactorial treatments with 13 treatments and three repetitions, making a total of 39 experimental units, each of which was of 30 seedlings settled up in nursery bags of 13*20 cm. The results display that compost and bocashi showed the best benefits in the production of coffee plants in the nursery stage, under proportions of 25% and 50%. For the number of coffee leaves the proportion that accumulated the most was 50% of compost; this same proportion obtained the highest dry weight and green weight on root, stem and leaves, so it is considered as one of the most appropriate treatments for the production of coffee seedlings at the nursery stage.
