The article examines the effect of coffee grounds on the growth and development of soft spring wheat of the Novosibirsk-31 variety (Triticum aestivum L.). To this end, two series of vegetation experiments were conducted during 2023–2024. The object of the study was meadow-chernozem soil with the introduction of various doses of coffee grounds. Coffee grounds were used separately, as well as in combination with the humate “Rostock” trademark and the biological product “Baikal-EM1”. The effect of coffee grounds introduced into meadow-chernozem soil in doses from 176 to 538 g/kg
on the growth and development of spring soft wheat of the Novosibirsk-31 variety is ambiguous and depends on the doses of the grounds used and on the methods of application. The introduction of coffee grounds into meadow-chernozem soil in doses of 176, 333 and 538 g/kg has, mainly, a depressing effect on the initial growth and development of spring soft wheat. With an increase in the dose of coffee grounds, the toxic effect increases. The most stimulating effect on the initial growth and development of wheat was provided by the use of the drug “Rostock”. Among the options using coffee grounds, the best combination is “coffee grounds and Baikal-EM1”.
