Abstract:

 Nowadays, coffee consumption is quite high, and the consumption of filter coffee is steadily increasing. Consequently, there is a significant increase in waste filter coffee. This study aims to evaluate waste filter coffee grounds using a zero-waste approach. In this context, the solid product of pyrolyzed waste filter coffee grounds was added to the soil in specific ratios to improve soil quality and increase yield. The effects on the root and stem development of arugula Eruca vesicaria and garden cress Lepidium sativum plants were investigated. Waste filter coffee grounds was homogeneously mixed with soil at application rates of 1, 2, and 4 tonsha. The results of the study observed that the pyrolysis solid product positively affected plant growth. Comparing the data, the highest yield in plants was observed in soil with added biochar, while lower yields were seen in soil with added raw waste filter coffee grounds, and the lowest yield was found in soil without biochar. Among the soils with added biochar, the most significant root and stem development was observed in plants with 2 tonsha of added biochar.
