Indian coffee board- monthly magazine- Cover Story- THE PROBLEM OF COFFEE WHITE STEM BORER AND THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES (#)
„Growing arabica coffee in India is an agroforestry activity wherein coffee is cultivated under a well maintained tree canopy as shade for the coffee plants. Good overhead shade is a basic requirement for healthy growth of plants in view of the weather conditions prevailing in our coffee tracts. The most important reason why shade needs to be maintained is the build up of stem borer under unshaded conditions.“

„Arabica Coffee in India is grown under two canopies of shade. The lower canopy consists predominantly of dadaps (Erythirinia Lithosperma). This is also referred to as temporary shade.“

„Since coffee is grown under shade in India, it is important to state that there is a considerable degree of relation between the shade pattern, light intensity and the nutrients up take by coffee. It has been estimated that in Indian coffee plantations with mixed shade trees the coffee fields receive on an average of 10 tons of shade litter inclusive of dadap lopping contributing considerable amounts of nutrients. But the mineralization of nutrients in them lakes years together and all the nutrients are not available to the plants as leaching and evaporation lose some quantities.“

„However, seed-beans or plant cuttings were eventually taken out of Arabia and cultivated in the Dutch colonies in India and Java. The Dutch became the main suppliers of coffee to Europe, with Amsterdam its trading centre.“

Shade Coffee at the Altar of Sacrifice (INeedCoffee.com)
„India’s share in the world coffee market is approximately 3.6%, producing about 300,000 metric tones of coffee of which 80% is exported and 20% (60,000 TONES) is consumed domestically. The State of Karnataka produces 70% of India's production. If one were to study the Indian coffee market, then a very startling picture emerges.“
