Tran Thi Tham Ha*1, Phan Thanh Binh1, Pham Van Thao1, Vo Thi Thuy Dung1, Truong Minh Hang1, Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh1 1 The Western Highlands Agricultural and Forestry Science Institute (WASI) * Corresponding author: Tran Thi Tham Ha. Email; tranthamha@gmail.com ABSTRACT Vietnamese robusta coffee has been mainly processed by drying method which allows natural fermentation of the fruit’s pulp and mucilage to occur during drying period. The reliance on natural…

Research on the suitable dose of controlled release fertilizer for Robusta coffee in mature stage on reddish brown basalt soil in Dak Lak(30/08/2020)

Nguyễn Thị Hồng Hạnh, Đinh Thị Nhã Trúc, Phan Việt Hà The Western Highland Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute In coffee intensive farming, most farmers use soluble chemical fertilizers. However, when facing unfavorable conditions, a large amount of fertilizer will be lost; leading to reduces cost-effectiveness and increases the risk of environmental pollution. Therefore, the experiment “Research on the suitable dose of controlled release fertilizer for Robusta coffee in mature…

A study result of the effectiveness of cinnamon bark extract in preventing Fusarium oxysporum from harming coffee trees(12/08/2020)

Nguyen Xuan Hoa, Ph.D and Nguyen Thi Thien Trang, BA. Division of Agriculture System This study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of biopreparation against Fusarium oxysporum in coffee. The experiment was conducted on an 8-year-old coffee, arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 formulas, 3 replications, 9 coffee trees per plot; between two plots, there is a row of coffee to separate. One liter of…

This study used methanol solvent to extract active ingredients from cinnamon bark. After geting cinnamon bark extract, added chitosan powderto create biological preparations to protect coffee roots from harmful nematodes. Experimental results showed that preparations and extracts have had no effect on stimulating growth plants of aerial parts. Treatment formula for concentration of 0.2% of preparations got the highest efficiency in anti-nematicidal activity compared to other treatments. The efficiency of…

Weight gain of fattening cattle fed by Total Mixed Ration (TMR)(29/10/2019)

Truong La, Ph.D Division of Research Management and International Cooperation      Using 18 Brahman crossbred bulls from 19 to 20 months for an experiment to examine their Average Daily Gain (ADG) while using diets of Total Mixed Ration (TMR). The bulls were allocated into 6 lots, each of 3 heads. Bulls were fed in 3 different rations by starch foods (maize meal, rice bran, cassava meal) with the same…

The role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in coffee fermentation in order to improve the green coffee bean quality(12/08/2019)

      Tran Thi Tham Ha (M.Sc) Division of Post-havest Studies       Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast that is commonly used in food industry such as winemaking, baking and brewing. The yeast is able to secrete pectinlyase and polygalacturonase enzymes, which help the degradation of coffee mucilage and pulp. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is essential for coffee fermentation as it can contribute to accelerating the rate of fermentation,…

Results on building the beef breeding models for using the Total Mixed Ration – TMR in Lam Dong province(10/07/2019)

Truong La, Ph.D Division of Research Management and International Cooperation      Applying techniques to use Total Mixed Ration – TMR to build high-yield beef cattle models for breeding and fattening. For each model, feeding 06 Brahman crossbred bulls with TMR diets; but for the control, cows are fed by their normal feeds. The time for  feeding cows is 90 days. The results: for the growing beef model, cows which…
