Abstract
Coffee growers often apply fertilizers very close to the plants, which results in accumulation of nutrients in one place leading to poor nutrient use efficiency, whereas soil sampling is done in the middle of four plants. Hence the objectives of this study was to compare nutrient status of soils sampled from drip circle and mid of four plants and recommend cost-effective fertilizer management.
