“…e result of this study was also in line with several research findings [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47], which conveyed that the application of organic fertilizer, particularly vermicompost, improved plant heights. Similar findings were also explored by Maru et al [48]; Sikder and Joardar [49]; and Bhattarai et al [50], who determined that the application of organic fertilizer in biochar form increased plant height in pea and rice crops.…”

The high production potential of coffee and animals in the Gedeo zone that could produce huge amounts of coffee pulp and animal manure wastes has been polluting the environment. In this sense, this study was aimed at averting pollution and managing plant and animal wastes, focusing on the effect of coffee pulp and animal manure in the form of vermicompost, biochar, and ordinary compost on hot pepper vegetative and reproductive growth. A 15 ton per hectare of each treatment was applied in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Vegetative and reproductive growth parameters (plant height, leaf number, number of branches, days to 50% flowering, total fresh biomass, number of fruits per plant, single fruit length, and fruit yield per hectare) were recorded, and the statistical difference was determined at 5% significance level using R-program. The result showed that there was a significant difference among treatments. Coffee pulp vermicompost prepared using Eisenia fetida earthworm had significantly ( P < 0.05 ) higher results in plant height, leaf number, number of branches, total fresh biomass, number of fruits per plant, single fruit length, and total yield, while the minimum values were recorded in topsoil (control treatment) and animal manure compost. The direct and residual effects of vermicompost and biochar organic amendments were the potential organic fertilizers for hot pepper fast growth and to produce enormous yield, which might be due to their nature in improving soil physicochemical and biological properties as well as nutrient uptake.

“…According to Nduka et al (2015), coffee husk improved physico-chemical properties of soil, the nutrient in the nursery soil medium and actively supported the morphological development of the cashew seedling. Similar work by Bikila (2020) and Bikila et al (2020) confirmed that, amending acid soil with coffee husk/ pulp compost improved the soil physicochemical and biological properties that enhanced the coffee seedling growth in western Ethiopia, indicating the potential use of composted coffee husk/ pulp on the field as an alternative source of soil amendment to improve the nutrient content and ameliorate soil acidity problem in Ethiopia. Since good morphological development of seedling enhances their better field establishment, the use of coffee husk to amend nursery soil is recommended.…”

Coffee is one of the most valuable primary products in the world trade, and also a central and popular part of our culture and the crop is cultivated in about 80 countries across the globe and entangles huge business worldwide. Industrial coffee production involves either a dry or a wet processing method for the removal of the shell and mucilaginous parts from the cherries resulting in the production of coffee husk and pulp, respectively. These main by-products generated by the coffee processing plants and are disposed into arable land and surface water causing environmental pollution due to presence of toxic materials such as caffeine and tannins. To contribute to safe disposal of solid biomass waste in coffee processing many research was conducted to assess the opportunities and challenges of expanded use of solid waste from coffee processing in energy and agricultural services in across coffee producing countries. Therefore the objective of this review was to summarize the literatures and the current knowledge on the utilization of coffee husk and pulp waste for soil amendment, for sustainable agricultural systems within small-scale farming in developing countries like Ethiopia, using these easily available materials as good option for developing plant-nutrient management strategies in highly weathered soil area.

Ethiopia's largest export commodity is coffee arabica, one of the most significant goods that significantly contribute to the national economy. However, diseases including coffee berry wilt, coffee leaf rust, and coffee wilt significantly reduce its yield. In order to assess Gidame arabica accessions’ resistance to serious fungal infections, this study was started. Eight standard checks on 92 accessions were removed in field and greenhouse conditions. With a range of 0–51%, 4–36%, and 0–100% disease severity, respectively, the results showed a highly significant variation (p 0.001) among genotypes for coffee berry, coffee leaf rust, and coffee wilt diseases. Most of the accessions had sensitive reactions to CBD under Gera conditions, with the exception of the four G67/13, G71/13, G54/13, and G66/13. As well, more than 40 coffee accessions revealed a 10% CLR reactivity, but none of the accessions had resistance levels higher than the two checks (Challa and 8136) at either location. Additionally, Gera had much greater levels of CBD and CLR than Haru. In other words, only two accessions, G57 and G20, showed 100% CWD survival in greenhouse environments. This study showed how plant genetics and environmental variables affect the development of disease and demonstrated that Gidame coffee accessions responded differently to the major coffee diseases assessed in various geographical regions. Therefore, continual massive genotype screening across several locations in unfavorable conditions for disease development must be taken into account in every host-pathogen relationship in order to get resistance genotypes as the best disease treatment choice.
