Transformation of coffee-growing landscapes across Latin America. A review
(CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2021-09)
In Latin America, the cultivation of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) plays a critical role in rural livelihoods, biodiversity
conservation, and sustainable development. Over the last 20 years, coffee farms and landscapes ...
Epidemics and the future of coffee production.
(2021-06)
In this perspective, we draw on recent scientific research on the coffee leaf rust (CLR) epidemic that
severely impacted several countries across Latin America and the Caribbean over the last decade, to
explore how the ...
Discovering weather periods and crop properties favorable for coffee rust incidence from feature selection approaches
(2020)
Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is a disease that leads to considerable losses in the worldwide coffee industry; as those that have been reported recently in Colombia and Central America. The early detection of favorable conditions ...
Shade tree Chloroleucon eurycyclum promotes coffee leaf rust by reducing uredospore wash-off by rain
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2020)
addition, may interact with environment. To better understand shade trees effects on coffee leaf rust (CLR), we
studied three disease stages separately: sporulation, uredospore wash-off by rain, and uredospore deposition ...
Coffee agroforestry systems capable of reducing disease-induced yield and economic losses while providing multiple ecosystem services
(2020)
Crop losses caused by pests and diseases decrease the incomes and threaten the livelihoods of thousands of families worldwide.During two years, in a research network of 61 coffee plots under a wide variety of shade and ...
Unraveling the Complexity of Coffee Leaf Rust Behavior and Development in Different Coffea arabica Agroecosystems
(2020)
Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, ...
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 ...
