Product Overview
EcoRic Shield Coffee Care is a specialized biological protection solution based on the Bacillus subtilis developed for coffee plantations. Coffee crops are highly sensitive to diseases, climate variability, and soil conditions. These factors directly affect bean size, density, flavor profile, and overall market value. This product enhances plant resilience, reduces disease pressure, and stabilizes plant physiology, allowing farmers to produce higher-quality coffee with more consistent yields.

How It Works on Tea Crops
-
Bean Quality Improvement:
Mode of action: By improving overall tree health and photosynthetic efficiency, the formula promotes the uniform accumulation of sugars and acids in the cherries.
Result: Reduces disease risk, strengthens plant immunity, improves resistance to recurring infections, and preserves healthy foliage. The tree maintains its leaf canopy, ensuring proper flower bud formation for the next season.
-
Control of Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR):
Mode of action: Coffee crops are highly vulnerable to coffee leaf rust, bacterial infections, and fungal diseases. The formula activates Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) within the tree, making the leaves unsuitable for the pathogen Hemileia vastatrix to develop and spread.Result: Reduces disease risk, strengthens plant immunity, improves resistance to recurring infections, and preserves healthy foliage. The tree maintains its leaf canopy, ensuring proper flower bud formation for the next season.
-
Protection Against Elgon Die-back:
Mode of action: The microorganisms in Shield Coffee Care produce natural antibiotics that suppress Pseudomonas syringae, the bacteria responsible for the die-back of young shoots.
Result: Supports healthy new branch growth and preserves the structural integrity of the canopy.
-
Control of Coffee Berry Disease (CBD):
Mode of action: Beneficial microorganisms colonize the surface of developing coffee cherries. They release enzymes (chitinases) that destroy the mycelium of Colletotrichum kahawae before it penetrates the fruit.
Result: Prevents cherry rot and premature fruit drop, protecting the entire crop until the cherries reach the red “cherry stage.”
-
Climate Stress Resistance:
Mode of action: Coffee plants are highly sensitive to drought stress, irregular rainfall, and temperature fluctuations.
Result: Stabilizes the plant’s physiological response, reduces yield losses during stress conditions, and supports faster recovery after stress.
Application Guide
- Step 1: Preparation
Dilute EcoRic Shield Coffee Care in clean water according to recommended dosage.
- Step 2: Application
MethodsFoliar spraying (primary method)
Drip irrigation (supporting method)
- Step 3: Timing
Apply during:
- vegetative growth phase
- pre-flowering stage
- fruit development stage
- stress periods (drought, heavy rain)
- after harvesting (plant recovery)
Recommendations
for Effective
ProtectionStart early: Apply the first treatment at the beginning of the rainy season, when pathogens are most active.
Berry protection: Ensure the trees are sprayed during the flowering and fruit-setting stages (the “pinhead” stage).
Application method: Thoroughly treat the entire tree, including the inner canopy and the undersides of the leaves.
- Step 4: Frequency
Standard: every 10–14 days
High stress/disease pressure: every 7–10 days
Small-scale farming: 100–200 mL per 20-liter knapsack sprayer.
Coffee plantations: 2–3 liters per hectare (diluted in 400–600 L of water).
Recovery treatment: After harvest, apply 2 L/ha to restore tree vitality.

FAQ
- Does it improve coffee quality?Yes, it enhances bean size, uniformity, and overall quality potential.
- Can it reduce coffee diseases?Yes, it strengthens plant immunity and reduces disease impact. With our targeted plant protection, you can protect your farm from CBD and leaf rust while preserving the fragile ecosystem of your plantation. It is an eco-friendly, effective, and future-oriented way to keep your coffee among the best in the world.
- Is it suitable for export farms?Yes, it supports high-quality production standards. Global coffee buyers are increasingly prioritizing “clean” coffee produced with minimal chemical impact. EcoRic Shield Coffee Care allows growers to reduce excessive use of copper-based treatments, which can accumulate in the soil and negatively affect tree roots.
- Can it be used year-round?Yes, especially during growth, flowering, and stress periods.
