Quantitative Improvement

• Raseek was effective in enhancing fruit ripening when sprayed 65 or 45 days prior to harvest.

  harvest developed 98% ripened fruits as against 75% control ( ' A Grade Berries ' ).
• Treatment   with   Raseek   produced   15%    higher harvestable yield over control.
• Raseek application 65 days prior to harvest resulted in early ripening by 15 days.

Qualitative Improvement

• Raseek application improves Coffee bean grade and Clean Coffee Weight in terms of Out-Turn Ratio.
• Raseek application also improves   Liquor characteristics and Cup quality.
• Upon roasting the Raseek treated beans had brown centre cuts and very few pales.

No Phyototoxicity

• Raseek does  not  induce defoliation even at higher concentrations.

Cost Benefit Ratio

• Raseek application offers excellent Yield Benefit for the Coffee growers in terms of both Total Bean Yield and Clean Coffee Weight. The Cost Benefit ratio works out to 1 : 4.5
