BIO-REACTOR TO TREAT <strong>COFFEE</strong> EFFLUENT<br />
5. <strong>C<strong>of</strong>fee</strong> Berry Borer Management<br />
All the recommended phyto sanitary methods have to be cleanly followed in the<br />
estate adopting cultural and mechanical operations.<br />
• Broca traps have to be installed in the estate as well as near the drying<br />
yards<br />
• Picking mats should be used during the harvesting. Use <strong>of</strong> picking mats<br />
facilitates the easy collection <strong>of</strong> fallen berries and avoids the berries<br />
coming into contact with the soils thereby preventing the possible mould<br />
formation.<br />
• All the left over berries on the plants and gleanings should be cleanly<br />
picked<br />
• If the berries are partially damaged by <strong>C<strong>of</strong>fee</strong> Berry Borer, such berries<br />
can be immersed in boiling water for 1 minute and then dried.<br />
• Highly damaged berries should be destroyed by burning<br />
• <strong>C<strong>of</strong>fee</strong> should be dried to the recommended moisture level.<br />
• Care should be taken not to transport c<strong>of</strong>fee from the CBB infested area to<br />
the non-infested areas.<br />
• While procuring gunny bags from the c<strong>of</strong>fee curing works, they should be<br />
properly fumigated to avoid the entry <strong>of</strong> CBB into your estate. The<br />
growers shall demand fumigation <strong>of</strong> gunny bags by the c<strong>of</strong>fee curers.<br />
Always use clean and as far as possible new gunny bags.<br />
