The coffee agroecosystem: bio-economic analysis of coffee berry borer control (Hypothenemus hampei). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractCoffee, after petroleum, is the most valuable commodity globally in terms of total value (harvest to coffee cup). Here, our bioeconomic analysis considers the multitude of factors that influence coffee production. The system model used in the analysis incorporates realistic field models based on considerable new field data and models for coffee

Evaluation of Exclusion Netting for Coffee Berry Borer (Hypothenemus Hampei) Management. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Exclusion nets are increasingly being used to protect a variety of agricultural crops from insect pests as a sustainable alternative to chemical controls. We examined the efficacy of exclusion nets in controlling the world’s most damaging insect pest of coffee, Hypothenemus hampei (coffee berry borer), on two small-scale coffee farms on Hawai’i Island.

Modelling and optimal strategy to control coffee berry borer
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 2021 Coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), denoted CBB, is the most important insect pest of coffee worldwide, with a high impact on the economy of coffee producing countries. The insect spends a great part of its life cycle inside the coffee berry and causes severe crop losses.

Ants defend coffee from berry borer colonization [PDF]
BioControl, 2013 Ants frequently prevent herbivores from damaging plants. In agroecosystems they may provide pest control services, although their contributions are not always appreciated. Here we compared the ability of eight ant species to prevent the coffee berry borer from colonizing coffee berries with a field exclusion experiment. We removed ants from one branch (

Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.

Agro-Ecological Management of Coffee Pests in Brazil
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 Coffee plants host several herbivorous species, but only few are considered pests. Brazil is the largest coffee producer of the world, and the two key coffee pests of the crop in the country are the coffee leaf miner Leucoptera coffeella and the coffee ...

Optimal spraying strategy to combat the coffee berry borer: A dynamic approach
Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2021 The coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei, is one of the most destructive pests worldwide. In Hawaii, coffee farmers have adjusted their farm management practices to deal with CBB since its introduction in 2010.
