| dc.description | The effects of number of pickings on yields and quality of intensively managed Bourbon coffee were determined near Jayuya, Puerto Rico, over a 2-year period. Similar yields of market coffee and estimated income were obtained when the coffee was harvested in one operation (stripping) in either mid- October or November. Thus, timing of this operation within reasonable limits does not appear to be particularly critical. The proportion of green berries and of black beans decreased with number of pickings and with delay in stripping. A higher estimated income was obtained when the coffee was harvested in several pickings. Although multiple pickings are more profitable at present, as labor becomes scarcer it may become desirable to pick coffee in two or even in one well-timed operation rather than in three or four as at present. | en-US |
| dc.description | Durante un período de 2 años se estudió el efecto que tuvieron el número de "cogidas" en la producción y calidad del café Bourbon cultivado intensivamente en la proximidad de Jayuya. Se obtuvieron rendimientos estimados e ingresos comparables cuando toda la cosecha se hizo de una sola vez ("ripiando") bien a mediados de octubre o de noviembre, lo que indica, aparentemente, que no es de gran importancia que se fije una fecha precisa para la cosecha siempre que se haga dentro de límites razonables. La proporción de granos verdes y/o negros disminuyó a medida que aumentaron las "cogidas" o se demoró el "ripio". Se obtuvieron mayores estimados de ingresos cuando la cosecha se hizo en varias "cogidas". Aunque al presente es preferible hacer la cosecha en varias "cogidas", la recolección total puede que resulte más ventajosa en uno o dos "pases" antes que en tres o cuatro, si continúa acrecentándose la escasez de obreros. | es-ES |
