Release of R & D Technologies
On the occasion of the Centenary Celebration, CCRI will release several R & D technology and coffee-based/coffee- derived-products for the benefit of coffee growers:
Eco-friendly sprayable lime technology
The Entomology Division has identified a new sprayable lime formulation for the management of Coffee White Stem Borer (CWSB). This new formulation is easy to prepare and spray on coffee plants. It effectively prevents the egg laying of CWSB. One labour can cover one acre per day, enabling coverage of larger areas efficiently compared to swabbing. Reduces labour requirement and saves overall expenditure for the CWSB management
Microbial consortium for the eco-friendly management of coffee diseases
The Plant Pathology Division has developed a new microbial consortium crafted from native bio-agents sourced from coffee soils. This eco-smart innovation offers a sustainable shield against major coffee diseases, boosting seedling vigour, cutting down chemical use, and empowering organic coffee growers with a natural edge.
Coffee Bio-Capsules for disease management: A green solution for stronger roots and healthier seedlings
Coffee Bio-Capsule is a smart, eco-friendly innovation powered by native bio-agents Trichoderma, Pseudomonas, and Bacillus sourced from coffee soils. It naturally combats Rhizoctonia solani, the collar rot pathogen, while giving seedlings a strong, healthy start.
CCRI Coffee Special – A Secondary and Micronutrient formulation for foliar application
CCRI Coffee Special is a balanced foliar formulation containing essential secondary nutrients (Mg, S), micronutrients (Zn, B), and beneficial Silicon. It disperses easily in water, maintains optimum pH, and ensures maximum nutrient uptake for healthier coffee plants.
