No Rust Fungi Observed After Two Months With Greater Coffee Vigor
In a six-year-old coffee field in Huila, Colombia, trees receiving Kyminasi® Plants Crop Booster™ treated irrigation were reported with no remaining presence of coffee rust after two months. The same observation also documented stronger foliar development, greener foliage, and a soil pH increase from 4.9 to 5.2 without fertilization.

No remaining rust observed, stronger foliage, and a measurable pH shift.
After two months and four Crop Booster irrigation applications, the supplied field documentation reports no remaining presence of rust fungi on the treated coffee trees. Foliar development became more abundant, leaf color became brighter green, and measured soil pH increased from 4.9 to 5.2.
Rust Fungi
Active leaf rust was reported before treatment. After two months, no remaining rust presence was observed.
Foliar Development
Treated coffee trees were reported to develop a more abundant and vigorous leaf canopy.
Greener Foliage
Leaf color changed from pale or yellowing foliage to a brighter, deeper green appearance.
Three Cultivars
The field included Colombia, Caturra, and Castillo coffee cultivars within the documented observation.
| Indicator | Before Treatment | After 2 Months | Observed Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coffee Rust | Active Infection | None Observed | No Remaining Presence Reported |
| Soil pH | 4.9 | 5.2 | +0.3 pH |
| Foliar Development | Sparse / Deficient | More Abundant | Improved |
| Leaf Color | Pale / Yellowing | Brighter Green | Improved |
| Fertilization | None During Observation | None | No Fertilizer Applied |
Crop: Coffee · Cultivars: Colombia · Caturra · Castillo
Field Age: 6 Years · Part Under Renovation · Observation: 2 Months
Applications: 4 Crop Booster Irrigations · Fertilization: None
Soil pH: 4.9 → 5.2 · Rust Result: No Remaining Presence Observed
This case study documents a before-and-after field observation rather than a separate side-by-side control plot. The supplied source reports active coffee rust before treatment and no remaining rust fungi after two months. It does not provide numerical disease-severity scores, fungicide-use data, yield measurements, chlorophyll readings, or a measured biological mechanism explaining the observed changes.
Why this matters for coffee growers: This Huila observation documented changes in disease presence, foliage condition, and soil pH during the same two-month period. Coffee rust was present before treatment and was no longer observed afterward, while foliar growth became more abundant and soil pH increased from 4.9 to 5.2. These results were reported across a field containing Colombia, Caturra, and Castillo cultivars, with no fertilization applied during the observation.
