Importance of the Nitrogen Cycle In Ecofriendly Shade Coffee

Importance of the Nitrogen Cycle In Ecofriendly Shade Coffee

The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important and complex of the biogeochemical cycles. Nitrogen gas (N2) is an inert gas composed of two atoms of nitrogen linked by a very strong triple bond. Although 78 percent by volume of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas, this abundant reservoir exists in a form unusable by most plants or organisms, unless […]

Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

February 24, 2023 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

The Coffee ecosystem is a self-sustaining stable ecosystem because of the Agroforestry model. Multiple crops grow harmoniously with a heterogeneous tree population. Coffee soils are rich in organic matter because of the enormous amounts of leaf litter due to the constant shedding of leaves from trees, shrubs, and the coffee bush. This provides the base […]

Coffee Agroforestry And Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria

January 29, 2023 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Zinc is a necessary micronutrient for the metabolic activities of coffee and associated multi-crops. More importantly, zinc is required by microbes to carry out many essential physiological activities. Zinc added as a micronutrient often gets fixed in the soil and is unavailable to the plant. Plants can uptake zinc as a divalent cation but only […]

Coffee And Zinc  

December 30, 2022 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Zinc is required in small but critical amounts, especially in plantation cops. Among the micronutrients, Zn is the most limiting nutrient associated with Plantation crops. However, the role of zinc is much debated in coffee Agroforestry, despite scientific evidence that clearly points out to the fact that zinc plays a vital role in plant metabolism […]

Weedicides And Its Impact on Soil Micro Flora

November 28, 2022 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Indian Coffee is associated with the Agroforestry method of cultivating coffee along with multiple crops. Mechanization is to a bare minimum and when one visits the plantation one can see trees haphazardly arranged. The soil is virgin and no serious effort is made to mechanize the plantation for the sole purpose of retaining the sustainable […]

Harmful Effects of Mushrooms

October 28, 2022 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Harmful Effects of Mushrooms

The bio-diverse Western Ghats forests, home to eco-friendly shade coffee are a treasure trove of mushroom biodiversity. Our research for the past three decades has clearly indicated that only a select few wild mushrooms have been identified and hordes of new species are yet to be discovered and classified. Shade-grown eco-friendly coffee plantations is known […]
