Antixenosis resistance to leaf miner Leucoptera coffeella in Coffea species

Euphytica, 2011
The coffee leaf miner, Leucoptera coffeella, is the most important pest of Coffea arabica plantations in Brazil, and all cultivars are susceptible to the insect. However, distinct reactions have been observed in other species, such as C. congensis and C. canephora.

Phenol Contents, Oxidase Activities, and the Resistance of Coffee to the Leaf Miner Leucoptera coffeella

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2006
We examined the role of phenolic compounds, and the enzymes peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, in the expression of resistance of coffee plants to Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae). The concentrations of total soluble phenols and chlorogenic acid (5-caffeoylquinic acid), and the activities of the oxidative enzymes peroxidase (POD) and ...

The effects of thiamethoxam on coffee seedling morphophysiology and Neotropical leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella) infestations.

Pest Management Science, 2022
BACKGROUND Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the main commodities produced in Brazil. Insecticides like the (systemic) neonicotinoid thiamethoxam are widely used to suppress pest populations during coffee production, in particular the Neotropical leaf

Hidden target, hidden effects: chlorantraniliprole on the coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella)

Ecotoxicology
Agricultural insecticide usage presents a complex challenge, particularly when addressing hidden targets such as concealed pest species. Typically, insecticide spraying targets either the host plant or the soil substrate, reaching the target when the pests move or feed, yet their vulnerability when concealed remains low.

A Proposed Origin of the Coffee Leaf-miner, Leucoptera coffeella (Guerin-Meneville) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae)

Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1984
Leucoptera coffeella , one of the most serious coffee pests in the New World, is considered an introduced species, suitable for classical biological control, although its exact origin is uncertain. Three pieces of evidence—(1) the little noticed presence of L.
