East African Agricultural And Forestry Journal, IV (6), 404-410.0012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/9599In view of the important position of Colombia as a producer of mild coffee,this coffee planters' handbook, published (in Spanish) in June, 1932, by the National Federation of Coffee Planters of Colombia, in conjunction with the technical staff of the Agricultural Experimental College of La Esperanza, is of considerable interest. Emphasis is laid on local conditions and cultural methods and the authors state that foreign literature on coffee is of little significant value to them. Technical terms are avoided as much at possible so that the book can be understood by even the least intelligent peasant cultivator.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionCoffeePlantersDiseasesSoil
