Fungicides can help manage some coffee diseases, but the wrong product, dose or timing wastes money and can harm people, animals and water sources.
- Confirm the problem with an extension worker before buying any product.
- Buy only registered products from licensed agro-input dealers.
- Read and follow the label for dose, timing, protective clothing and waiting periods before harvest.
- Never mix products unless the label or an expert says it is safe.
- Store chemicals locked away from children, food and water.
CAWA SCAN does not recommend specific products, mixtures or application rates.
