Coffee soils are exposed to nutrient leaching over a long period resulting in low organic matter content and require careful management to support good crop yields. Coffee produced in Ethiopia mainly by small-scale farmers is considered actually organic.. Organic fertilizers or materials added to the soil help in the buildup of the soil's organic matter and conditioning of the soil physical and chemical properties also provide for the needs of the various microorganisms which play an active part in the quality of the topsoil. Coffee pulp and husk, by-products of coffee processing, are organic residues that can be used as fertilizer for coffee. Coffee processing results in by-products such as pulp and mucilage that constitute around 60% of the wet weight of the fresh fruit. On large coffee farms the pulp is treated by composting and later used in the field as an organic conditioner of soils, thus reducing some of the cost of coffee production when compared to chemical fertilization. Therefore the objective of this paper is to review various investigations of coffee organic nutrient requirement & its influence on growth, yield and quality. .Mixture of 40% coffee pulp, 30% sugarcane filter cake, 20% poultry litter and 10% wood chips (bulking agent) resulted in a high quality compost within 50 days. Best combination of coffee pulp or husk and different organic materials such as FYM and leguminous plant material which resulted in accelerated composting process and better nutritional composition. Temperature and pH profiles of the compost mixtures were recorded regularly to evaluate the maturity of the composts. It was reported that compost piles containing higher proportion of organic residues exhibited higher temperatures along the process of organic matter degradation in around 45 days. During composting, temperature climbs sharply at first as the readily available compounds oxidize, reaching about 60 °C and 70°c in 1 to 3 days. The C/N ratio of all piles decreased at the end of composting, reflecting mineralization of organic matter and an adequate evolution of the microbial composting process. Significant variation in the chemical properties of coffee pulp and husk before and after composting was reported. In coffee husk, pH increased from 5.63 to 6.15, electrical conductivity increased from 0.34 to 0.71 mmho/cm, exchangeable bases and higher total nitrogen. Available phosphorus also increased from 33.14 to 63.46 ppm,. In the case of coffee pulp, a slight reduction in CEC was observed. In addition, exchangeable K⁺ decreased from 118.8 to 65.01 meq 100 g^-1. Applying composts prepared from coffee pulp and husk with different organic residues was found to increase significantly coffee yield. Compost prepared from coffee processing by-products can, therefore, provides much of the mineral nutrients required by the coffee tree for normal growth and sustained yield & enables the production of organic coffee which is of a worldwide demand today. Above all, these practices are environmentally friendly and economically sound.
