Introduction of Food‐Based Cover Crops Reduces Weed Control Frequency, Improves Land Productivity, and Increases Income of Robusta Coffee Farms

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Coffee (Coffea canephora) takes 2 to 3 years to begin yielding, during which period the young coffee plants do not fully occupy the land. Introduction of fast‐growing food crops during these early stages will help maximize land use, provide early income, improve soil health, reduce weed pressure, and moderate the microclimate.
