Question

In what type of soil, tea and coffee are cultivated?

Answer 1

Deep, well-drained friable loamy soils are ideal for tea and coffee plantations. Fertile volcanic red dirt or deep sandy loam is a suitable coffee soil type.

What is a loam soil:

• Loam is made up of a mix of the three primary types of soil: sand, silt, and clay. Loam soil should, in general, include equal amounts of all three soil types. This blend of soil types produces the ideal texture for plant growth.

• It is suitable for cultivation since the plant roots receive adequate water and nutrients for growth and development.
