Abstract

Productivity of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is greatly influenced by the availability of soil nutrients. This study aims to evaluate the rate of increase in macro and micro nutrients in arabica coffee plantation soil with the addition of vermiculite. Vermiculite was combined with rice water and incubated for one week, then applied to two-month-old arabica coffee plants at doses of V1 (1 gram) and V2 (2 grams). Soil samples were analyzed before and two weeks after application using the Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) method. The results showed that vermiculite application significantly increased nutrients, including potassium (from 1.35 to an average of 223.68), magnesium (from 3.46 to >120), phosphorus (from 0.97 to 217.3), and microelements such as iron, manganese, and zinc. The results showed that the combination of vermiculite with rice water proved effective as a soil conditioner to increase the soil fertility of arabica coffee plantations in a short time.
