Significance Decades of research have fostered the now-prevalent assumption that noncrop habitat facilitates better pest suppression by providing shelter and food resources to predators parasitoids crop pests. Based on our analysis largest pest-control database its kind, surrounding farm fields does affect multiple dimensions control, but actual responses pests enemies are highly variable across geographies cropping systems. Because often not enhance biological more information about local...
Coffee rust is a leaf disease caused by the fungus, Hemileia vastatrix. epidemics, with intensities higher than previously observed, have affected number of countries including: Colombia, from 2008 to 2011; Central America and Mexico, in 2012–13; Peru Ecuador 2013. There are many contributing factors onset these epidemics e.g. state economy, crop management decisions prevailing weather, resulting impacts on production, farmers' labourers' income livelihood, food security. Production has been...
• Smallholders' farmers are vulnerable to the impacts of climate extreme events. Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices can help reduce or avoid these impacts. Adoption by smallholders is conditioned key barriers and trade-offs. Existing experiences in promoting agroecology agroforestry provide lessons promote adoption. Despite growing interest Adaptation, there has been little discussion how this approach could be used smallholder adapt change, while ensuring continued provision...
The assessment of crop yield losses is needed for the improvement production systems that contribute to incomes rural families and food security worldwide. However, efforts quantify identify their causes are still limited, especially perennial crops. Our objectives were primary (incurred in current year production) secondary (resulting from negative impacts previous year) coffee due pests diseases, most important predictors yields losses. We established an experimental parcel with full-sun...
Abstract This study assessed the effects of slope exposure, altitude and yield on several cup quality criteria coffees from two terroirs Costa Rica, Orosi (between 1020 1250 m above sea level) Santa María de Dota 1550 1780 level). East‐facing slopes gave beverages with generally superior attributes, probably owing to better exposure morning sunlight. These were mainly more acid: at an acidity score 2.73 out 5 was obtained (3.64 for Dota) eastern exposures, as opposed 2.36 average (3.28 other...
Crop pest and disease incidences at plot scale vary as a result of landscape effects. Two main effects can be distinguished. First, context provides habitats variable quality for pests, pathogens, beneficial vector organisms. Second, the movements these organisms are dependent on connectivity status landscape. Most studies focus indirect abundance through their predators parasitoids, only few direct pests pathogens. Here we studied three coffee with limited or no pressure from host‐specific...
ABSTRACT: To better know the cup quality of Honduran coffee, a study was carried out on samples from 52 Arabica coffee plots spread throughout 6 producing regions in Honduras. The aim to identify environmental and agronomic factors that affect quality. Biochemical physical characteristics coffees after roasting were used link descriptors these variables by means multiple factor analyses. Coffees superior came Olancho El Paraíso regions. High altitudes annual rainfall under 1500 mm favorable...
The effects of crop management patterns on coffee rust epidemics, caused by Hemileia vastatrix , are not well documented despite large amounts data acquired in the field and much modelling work done this disease. One main reason for gap between epidemiological knowledge understanding resides lack links many studies actual production situations field. Coffee epidemics based a seemingly simple infection cycle, but develop polycyclic season polyetic over successive seasons. These higher‐level...
There is growing interest in promoting the use of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices to help smallholder farmers adapt climate change, however there limited information on how commonly these are used by and what factors influence their use. Using participatory mapping field surveys, we examined prevalence characteristics EbA 300 coffee maize six landscapes Central America explored socioeconomic biophysical associated with The individual varied across farms. Common included live...
In this perspective, we draw on recent scientific research the coffee leaf rust (CLR) epidemic that severely impacted several countries across Latin America and Caribbean over last decade, to explore how socioeconomic impacts from COVID-19 could lead reemergence of another epidemic. We describe past CLR outbreaks have been linked reduced crop care investment in farms, as evidenced years following 2008 global financial crisis. discuss relationships between incidence, farmer-scale agricultural...
Hemileia vastatrix caused a severe epidemic in Central America 2012-13. The gradual development of that on nearly continental scale suggests dispersal at different scales played significant role. Shade has been proposed as way reducing uredospore dispersal. effect shade (two strata: Erythrina poeppigiana below and Chloroleucon eurycyclum above) full sun H. was studied with Burkard traps relation to meteorological records. Annual daily patterns were observed, peaks capture obtained during wet...
