Effectiveness of direct application of top dressing with spent coffee grounds for soil improvement and weed control in wheat-soybean double cropping system

With increasing annual global coffee consumption, the amount of spent coffee grounds (SCGs) increases. Direct application of SCGs in large agricultural fields can potentially improve soil and control weeds in an environmentally safe manner. However, except for composting, the use of SCGs during crop...
