“…One of the largest Arabica coffee producing regions in Indonesia is North Sumatra which has 63.34 thousands ha of coffee plantations located at an altitude of 800-1,600 m above sea level (asl) with a production of 53.24 thousand tons of Arabica coffee beans (Direktorat Jenderal Perkebunan, 2017). Arabica coffee genotypes found in North Sumatra, in particular, are known to have wide genetic variability such as having genotype variations in resistance to coffee berry borer and taste attributes (Malau, 2019;Malau, Siagian, Sirait, Ambarita, et al, 2018;Malau, Sihotang, & Simanjuntak, 2019), different agronomic performance , different ability in seed germination (Malau, Siagian, Sirait, & Ambarita, 2018a), different levels of water stress tolerance (Malau, Siagian, Sirait, & Ambarita, 2018b), and different performance in organoleptic quality (Malau, Siagian, Sirait, & Pandiangan, 2017).…”
