However, for you to enjoy these delicacies farmers have to maintain, prevent and treat their coffee plants from certain diseases. In the dynamic farming world today, the use of chemicals is avoided to prevent chemical-related problems such as killing soil fertility and the growth of cancer cells in humans thus organic methods to prevent and treat diseases are preferred.  Listed below are some of the common coffee diseases and their organic treatment.

Note that copper is the only organic-approved fungicide. Another control method is pruning whole branches infected by black rot and coffee berry disease, among others. Rabbit urine efficiently prevents and controls insects or worms from the coffee plant.
