The behavior of the plant height and stem diameter parameters was evaluated at 45 and 60 days after sowing, where the results show that the Soil + Decomposed coffee pulp treatment stimulates the growth of the parameters of the coffee plants. in nursery for both evaluations; This being the best with respect to the rest of the treatments.
