Anacafé, the Guatemalan Coffee Association reports positive results for CR-10 in Phase I testing. CR-10 has proven to be the only effective organic, biodegradable fungicide to exterminate coffee rust with minimal impact on the eco system.

The Phase I testing will conclude with Anacafé “cupping test” of coffee treated with CR-10. The “cupping test” determines whether the taste of the coffee is affected by biodegradable, and eco-friendly fungicide CR-10. Bionovelus will report these results upon receipt.
Anacafé’s Phase II and final testing is two-fold and underway to evaluate the compatibility of CR-10 with residual chemical products originally used to treat coffee rust.
Testing will determine whether CR-10 reduces the impact of the chemical residue in the coffee plants.
Finally, testing on otherwise untreated organic coffee plantations will determine the maximum benefits of organic CR-10 to preserve the integrity of and “save” the organic coffee industry prior to any chemical treatments whatsoever.
Since coffee rust became an epidemic in Central America in 2012 (Source: Anacafé), there has not been any organic coffee rust killer to be approved by Anacafé (Guatemala) or ICafé (Costa-Rica), or any other coffee grower organization.
Additionally, the Guatemalan Chamber of Commerce has invited BioNovelus to take part in the AGRITRADE Expo & Conference, March 23 & 24, 2017.
Agritrade, the largest international agricultural fair in Central America, scheduled bi-annually, “brings together international buyers and exporters of fresh and processed products of the region, involving suppliers and agricultural services in the supply chain.”
