The implementation of the SPAD-502 Chlorophyll meter for the quantification of nitrogen content in Arabica coffee leaves.

The utilization of a non-destructive SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter, which enables the measurement of nitrogen status in plant leaves, has gained popularity in agronomic crops. Its application to horticultural crops like coffee remains relatively uncommon. The device provides quick and real-time measurements, helping to provide on-time nitrogen fertilizer to coffee plants before deficiency signs occur.
