RE: Coffee Growers - PHC growing24 Mar 2023 21:53
Global warming is bringing warmer and, at times, damper conditions which favour fungal diseases. PHC is finding success with PreTEC peptides against a variety of fungi, and I am fairly sure that management have said that the fungi are unlikely to develop resistance due to the way they stimulate the plants to defend themselves. The promise shown in such a valuable crop is excellent news.
[Coffee rust is a devasting disease caused by a rust fungus, Hemileia vastatrix. It can reduce coffee production from between 30% to 50%.]
