Triasper Plus is an organically certified biofungicide and biofertilizer that increases the productivity of Arabica and Robusta coffee farms by controlling Coffee Wilt Disease (CWD). The product’s dual action (biofungicide + biofertilizer) addresses broader farmer needs for disease control, soil health, and nutrient supply, while improving farmer incomes and promoting sustainable production.

The product has been developed through a BioInnovate Africa supported project led by Kaffabio Control Agro-Industry PLC, Ethiopia, in partnership with the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization – Coffee Research Institute (KALRO/CRI) and the National Agricultural Research Organisation – Coffee Research Institute (NaCORI), Uganda.
