The use of Ecosystem-based Adaptation practices by smallholder farmers in Central America
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2017)
There is growing interest in promoting the use of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices to help smallholder farmers adapt to climate change, however there is limited information on how commonly these practices are ...
Forecast models of coffee leaf rust symptoms and signs based on identified microclimatic combinations in coffee-based agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2019)
Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ...
Shade tree traits and microclimate modifications: Implications for pathogen management in biodiverse coffee agroforests
(Wiley Biotropica, New Jersey (Estados Unidos), 2021-04)
Diversified coffee agroforests modify microclimate conditions in comparison with monocultures, impacting the success of significant plant pathogens, such as Hemileia vastatrix, which causes coffee leaf rust (CLR). However, ...
No evidence of foliar disease impact on crop root functional strategies and soil microbial communities : what does this mean for organic coffee?
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2022-01-21)
The main objective of this study is to unravel the dynamic effects of pathogens and amendments on the functional root characteristics and communities of root endophytic fungi. As model, used Coffea arabica (coffee) variety ...

(2020)
Coffee leaf rust is a polycyclic disease that causes severe epidemics impacting yield over several years. For this reason, since the 1960s, more than 20 models have been developed to predict different indicators of the ...
Economic constraints as drivers of coffee rust epidemics in Nicaragua
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam, Países Bajos, 2020-10)
Coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics of an intensity never seen before have hit Central America since 2012. This study set out to identify management and socio-economic factors that facilitate coffee rust development ...
Assessing the joint effects of landscape, farm features and crop management practices on berry damage in coffee plantations
(Elsevier, 2022-02-09)
Evaluates the joint effects of crop management on plot level, farm characteristics, and landscape structure at different spatial scales on CBB infestation in 50 Costa Rican coffee farms. In five plants of each farm, the ...
