Magnesium and Sulfur have a positive effect on Coffee production and their supply should not be limited to the whole season. Although sulfur is known as a secondary nutrient for plants, studies have shown that Coffee needs as much as phosphorous and is considered an important nutrient along with N, P and k. A soil survey on the status of sulfur on Coffee plantations have been shown that the depletion of sulfur available in the soil is increasing rapidly. For maximum Coffee production, sulfur is an essential nutrient and also essential for maintaining and improving quality. Clean Arabica Coffee requires about 15 to 20 kg sulfur for each metric ton. While Robusta Coffee requires 20 to 25 kg of sulfur. Sulfur can be applied in the form of ammonium sulfate, Calcium or magnesium sulfate, elemental sulfur, potassium sulfate or single super phosphate preferably in the post- monsoon period.
