Interactions of Zinc with Other Nutrients

July 23, 2023 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Zinc is now an integral part of fertilizer recommendations in coffee Agroforestry. It is generally applied along with NPK. The majority of the coffee Planters apply zinc through foliar application. However, Soil application has the advantage of leaving residual effects and thus, permitting a better utilization of applied Zn in a multi-cropping system. Soil chemists […]

Role of Sulphur in Coffee Plantations

May 31, 2023 by Dr. Anand Titus and Geeta N. Pereira

Traditional Coffee Plantations in India are associated with some of the most fertile soils, rich in organic matter. Over the years, coffee cultivation spread out to non-traditional areas like lowland rice fields, plains and hills, which are low in organic matter. It’s a fact that soils rich in organic matter are also rich in sulphur. […]

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 […]

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 […]

 Calcium And Its Interaction With Fertilizers

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

Coffee Agroclimatic regions significantly vary in terms of soil types and rainfall patterns. The soil types are deep friable, rich in organic matter, well-drained, and slightly acidic in reaction. The rainfall varies from 1000 mm to 2500 mm. Calcium is added to coffee plantations either as lime or Dolomite. This practice is carried out once […]
