Attacks</p><p>by the stem borer of the Meliaceae (Hypsilla grandella</p><p>Zeller) were evident in the bifurcation commonly observed in</p><p>most trees. The srudy was conducted at CIC-JAP La Fe,</p><p>Ilama, Santa Bárbara at 750 m elev., 14° 59’ N and 88° 31’</p><p>W, with an annual rainfall of 2.800 mm y-1. Soils are highly</p><p>fertile with high exchangable bases content, organic matter</p><p>and micronutrients, withouth pH problems and a slope that</p><p>varies from 10 to 20%. The trees benefited from weed control</p><p>and fertilization of the coffee plantation to which they grew</p><p>associated. Average IMA height and diameter of trees were</p><p>1.09 m and 3.77 cm, resoectively, which are considered high</p><p>and represent an average of 20 y., an a production of 35.164</p><p>wood feet and an income of Lps of 316.476,00 at 386.804,00</p><p>as wood price on the farm (Lps 9.00 a 11,00 wood feet),</p><p>which constitutes extra income that does not affect coffee</p><p>production and takes advante of the internal roads in the farm.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Agronomía Mesoamericana}, author={Viera, Carlos J. and Pineda, Arnold}, year={2004}, month={Mar.}, pages={85–92} }
