“…Using ecological mowers allows part of the shoot residue to be directed under the coffee canopy. The biomass deposited maintains the superficial soil moisture and promotes fine root development (Pedrosa et al, 2014;Martinelli et al, 2017;Favarin et al, 2018;Franco Júnior et al, 2019;Resende et al, 2022). The inter-row cultivation of U. decumbens with coffee has favorable effects on soil physical and chemical characteristics, which leads to better development of the coffee root system (Siqueira et al, 2015) and increased water storage capacity under irrigation (Rocha et al, 2016).…”

“…Urochloa suppresses weeds (Pais et al, 2011;Siqueira et al, 2015), increases soil enzyme activity, soil moisture, water storage, promotes fine root growth and better coffee root development (Pedrosa et al, 2014;Rocha et al, 2016;Martinelli et al, 2017;Favarin et al, 2018;Franco Júnior et al, 2019;Resende et al, 2022;Rodrigues et al, 2022) which can lead to greater yields. Urochloa has great potential for increasing soil organic C inputs, but there have been no studies that have quantified that specifically for the intercrop; still, nutrient cycling by Urochloa can be enough to fulfil all of the coffee demand for certain nutrients such as P (Baptistella et al, 2022).…”

The coffee sector is estimated to have a retail market value in excess of USD 83 billion, and over 125 million jobs have been created in the global coffee chain. The coffee specialty market has recently increased significantly, generating opportunities to certify coffee beans produced by sustainable practices. This avoids practices potentially harmful to the environment. Agroforestry, organic farming, intercropping, and soil conservation strategies are examples of sustainable alternatives in the production of coffee. In this review, we focus on practices for the sustainable management of coffee plantations that can help farmers fight problems caused by global warming. More specifically, we address soil organic matter and microbiota, the use of Urochloa grass as intercrop in coffee plantations, shading systems (including agroforestry), and organic coffee production. We concluded that from the agronomic viewpoint, we already have production techniques that can replace traditional ones with significant advantages accruing to the quality of coffee orchard ecosystems. Nevertheless, we need scientific research efforts to deal with the existing gaps and the engagement of the whole coffee chain as a means of guaranteeing an adequate profit to those smallholders who adopt and maintain sustainable practice and are capable of bringing several positive changes to the coffee crop, including the use of microbia-based commercial products and new organic sources of nutrients to complement chemical fertilizers and improve coffee quality.
