Reviewer 1 Report
Line No. 47: Crop word is used but I think tree is more suitable word.
Line No. 71: I think it is good practice to use full name first time instead of abbreviations (C, N, S, B, Co, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mo, and Zn).
Line 250: Kindly make a sense of sentence: but they can also affect the yield of interest if drift occurs, reducing, for example, plant growth.
Include three or more recent reference (2021 or 2022) in introduction section.
Include three or more recent reference (2022) in discussion section.

Reviewer 3 Report
L077: Extracto Acetto de Calcio – you maybe forget to translate this part?
L086: „after 120 (days?), increments were calculated based on the difference between final and initial measurements.“ Further in the tables, you used simply height and stem diameter. So, does this mean that the differences were used in the analysis and the final measurements in the table? Or are you working with differences between final and initial measurements or final measurements in both the analysis and the table? Clarify in the manuscript.
L260: Coffea arabica and L295: Leucaena leucocephala should be in italics.
L371: It seems, you forgot part of the original text here („Funding: Not applicable“), as well as here L373-L374

Reply: The analyzes and tables were made using the increment of height and stem diameter (difference between final and initial). This information was inserted in the text, lines 94 - 95. In addition, we made the change in the title of the tables.
