Thirty three surface samples from 12 locations in Coffee growing region of South India representing areas of varying elevation (750-1350m) and rainfall (825–3000 mm) were analysed for their physico-chemical properties. A tendency for increase in clay with elevation upto 1020 meters was noticed. Similarly silt increased upto 900 meters while nitrogen content and C.E.C. increased with elevation and rainfall. Soluble silica and pH showed a decreasing trend with rainfall
