Abstrakt: The present work was carried out in vitro (incubation experiment), and 1.25 and 2.5 g of air dried and well milled residue green Arabica coffee or residue green Robusta coffee, were applied to 50 g of soil, respectively. All treatments were incubated for 15 weeks at a constant temperature of 28 °C and after the incubation period, suitable chemical analyses were performed. The results of the experiment showed that the residue Arabica added in soil, are subjected to same degradation, in comparison to the residue Robusta, after a long incubation period. The residue Arabica as compared with of residue Robusta, increased the content of the available forms P, Cu and Zn, while and both materials increased the content of samples in available forms K, Fe and Mn, in comparison to the control (soil). These results, confirm the role of residue green coffee (Arabica or Robusta) as organic soil amendment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
