To the editor:
I note the article about a virus attacking coffee plants and entered ‘neem oil’ into the search bar on your website. There is nothing here about neem oil and I am surprised by this.
Neem oil is famous for its ability to eradicate 90% of pests and issues on coffee plants, without harming bees or topical beneficial bacteria. If you add spruce essential oil to the mix of neem oil and water so that the essential oil you add ends up in a 1% dilution of the end mix, it also protects plants against rust. A good blend is 4tbs of neem oil dispersed in 2 gallons of water and around 77ml of your chosen essential oil added to that. Warm the neem oil, add it to the water and shake it up to make a milkshake-like mixture. If it rains after spraying, you must repeat the spraying. Clean any spraying equipment thoroughly after use as the neem oil can overwhelm the bacteria other things that you want to spray on your plants, like compost tea for example. Or better still use two sprayers, one for your neem oil and another for your compost tea.
Food for thought (?) and a possible article on the topic? Pointer for you: organic neem oil has been used in India for generations.
