Nutrient management in coffee cultivation under high rainfed conditions in India: A review
Authors
Praveen HG
Abstract
Coffee is a key plantation crop in the high rainfall tracts of southern
India, especially in Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Under rainfed
conditions, nutrient dynamics in coffee cultivation are highly influenced by
leaching, runoff, soil acidity, and organic matter dynamics. Efficient nutrient
management is critical to sustaining yields, bean quality, and long-term soil
health. This review discusses nutrient requirements of coffee, the challenges
posed by high rainfall, recommended nutrient management strategies, and recent
research advances, including site-specific nutrient management and organic
amendments. Integrated approaches combining chemical fertilizers, organic manures,
and biofertilizers are highlighted as sustainable options to address nutrient
imbalances and improve productivity in rainfed coffee ecosystems.
