Abstract: This farm practice was conducted from Novem-ber, 1986 to March, 1987 at Kaytambog, Indang, Cavite, one of the pilot areas of the Don Severino Agricultural College for a period of five (5) months. It aimed to develop the skills of the Student Outreach Agent (S0A) as a technician and to help the farmers improve their farming techniques through modern technology. An area of ten thousand square meters (10,000 sq. m.) coffee-bearing plantation was fertilized and applied with ten (10) bags of Urea (46-0-0) fertilizer. The total cost of production, the quantity of the produced product, and the gross return were taken and recorded. Net income derived from the project was computed and analyzed. The total farm expenses, especially the cost of fertilizer was found to be reasonable compared to the favorable effects it gave on the yield of coffee. Since, a high quantity of the produced product was obtained, it indicated an efficient productivity of the coffee plantation. There is a remarkably high gross return with respect to the total sales of the dried coffee ber-ries. A higher gross return' must have been reached if more Robusta variety had been planted instead of more Excelsa variety of coffee considering the higher marketable price of the former than the latter. The net income derived is also high and it can be concluded that fruiting coffee applied with fertilizer is more productive. Based on the result obtained, applying ferti-lizer on fruiting coffee could be recommended for efficient coffee production.
