Item Coverage plants in coffee production systems as weed control(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2024-05-02) Barros, Vanessa Maria de Souza; Thimothee, Jean Alex; Rodrigues, Rafael Jorge Almeida; Gonçalves, Adenilson Henrique; Medeiros, Fernanda Carvalho Lopes de; Ferreira, André Dominghetti; Carvalho, Gladyston RodriguesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the floristic and phytosociological compositions of weeds and the influence of cover crops between rows of organic and conventional coffee plantations. The assessment of weeds was carried out in two seasons (dry and rainy) in 2019 and 2020. A square made from welded iron bars of 0.50 x 0.50 m (0.25 m2) was launched four times in each block randomly, avoiding overlap, totaling 4.0 m2 of sampled area. A total of 41 weed species were found and described, which were distributed in 38 genera and 19 families with the predominance of Poaceae and Asteraceae. The most abundant species were Cyperus sp. and Urochloa decumbens Staf. that occurred simultaneously in all treatments and showed greater importance (IVI) among weeds. The similarity index is generally low, indicating that the weed community was affected by the presence and absence of cover crops.Item New vegetation index for monitoring coffee rust using sentinel-2 multispectral imagery(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-12-29) Castro, Gabriel Dumbá Monteiro de; Vilela, Emerson Ferreira; Faria, Ana Luísa Ribeiro de; Silva, Rogério Antônio; Ferreira, Williams Pinto MarquesCoffee Rust (Hemileia vastatrix) is considered the primary coffee disease in the world. The pathogenic fungus can find favorable environmental conditions in different countries, constantly threatening coffee producers. The previous detection of the incidence of coffee rust in a region is crucial because it provides an overview of the disease’s progress aiding in coffee plantations management. The objective of this work was the development of a vegetation index for remote monitoring of coffee rust infestation. Using satellite images from the MSI/Sentinel-2 collection, the Machine Learning classifier algorithm - Random Forest, and the cloud processing platform - Google Earth Engine, the most sensitives bands in coffee rust detection were determined, namely B4 (Red), B7 (Red Edge 3) and B8A (Red Edge 4). Thus, the Triangular Vegetation Index method was used to create a new vegetative index for remote detection of coffee rust infestation on a regional scale, named Coffee Rust Detection Index (CRDI). A linear regression model was created to estimate rust infestation based on the performance of the new index. The model presented a coefficient of determination (R²) of 62.5%, and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.107. In addition, a comparison analysis of the new index with eight other vegetative indices commonly used in the literature was carried out. The CRDI obtained the best performance in coffee rust detection among the others. This study shows that the new index CRDI has the robustness and general capacity to be used in monitoring coffee rust infestation on a regional scale.Item Temporal progress of coffee leaf rust and environmental conditions affecting severity in Veracruz State, Mexico(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-03-28) Pale-Ezquivel, Ivan; Lagunes, Ricardo Musule; Pineda-López, Maria del Rosario; Alarcón-Gutiérrez, Enrique; Sánchez-Velásquez, Lázaro RafaelCoffee is an important crop in Mexico. Unfortunately, coffee production has been affected by coffee leaf rust (CLR). For Veracruz, the second state in Mexico with the major production of coffee, there are available reports of weekly CLR severity, but these are only informative without in-depth inferential analysis. We analyzed variations of CLR severity along the year in Veracruz with data from municipal weekly reports provided by Mexico’s federal government phytosanitary epidemiological monitoring coffee program. We selected reports dated in 2018 from nine municipalities and after calculations of mean monthly severity values, we conducted a one-way ANOVA (months as factors) of severity data. We compared this information with other coffee-producing regions. Additionally, we explored the association of temperature, rainfall, and altitude with CLR severity using Principal Component Analysis and multiple linear regressions. Temperature and rainfall data were obtained from Mexican National Meteorological Service. We found that CLR severity in October, November, December, and January (months of harvest period) was significantly higher than values from March-June. During the harvest period, coffee plants allocate resources mainly for fruiting which competes in resources for other tasks such as defense and leaf growth, so this competition of resources can explain the positive relationship found between fruit load and CLR severity. This monthly variation of severity was similar to those reported in Chiapas, Guatemala, Colombia, Uganda, and Ethiopia. Our model (R2 = 0.948) showed a significant and negative effect of minimum and maximum temperature (in a range from 9.9 – 15.5 °C and 18.5 – 26.5 °C, respectively) on CLR severity, while the effect of rainfall (in a range from 32.0 – 359.9 mm) and médium temperature (from 14.3 – 20.5 °C) was positive. With our study, we suggest applications of fungicides in March-June when coffee plantations are in leaf phenophase.Item Evaluation of a prototype of soil thermal solarizer for control of gall nematode in the production of coffee seedlings(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-02-23) Uchôa, Francisco Paiva; Vieira Junior, José Roberto; Fernandes, Cléberson de Freitas; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Espíndula, Marcelo Curitiba; Rudnick, Vaneide Araújo de Sousa; Silva, Dvany Mamedes da; Freire, Tamiris Chaves; Sangi, Simone Carvalho; Mariobo, Solange Aparecida RodriguesIn coffee crops at Rondônia State of Brazil, there is an increase in phytonematode epidemics.Since most local coffe nurseries at Rondônia use soil as substrate for seedling production, this work aimed to test the minimum exposure time at 60 ºC to control of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita in soil by means of solar heating, using a solarizer, in an adapted version for better heating perfomance. The used solarizer prototype was built of a wooden box covered with metal sheets, thermal blankets, painted black, with aluminum pipes of 0.5 cm in diameter at the bottom of the box that circulates the water heated by the collector box. The soil was inoculated with a suspension of 1000 eggs + J2 of M. incognita per liter and placed in equipment with a capacity of 150 liters. Exposure times at a minimum temperature of 60 °C were evaluated, with 14 treatments: C1 (non-inoculated and not autoclaved), C2 (inoculated), C3 (non-inoculated and autoclaved) T0’, T15’, T30’, T45’, T60’, T180’, T360’, T720’, T1440’, T2880’ and T4320’ . The temperature was measured every 15 minutes using a skewer-type digital thermometer. The soil was removed according to the exposure time, and placed in 8-liter pots, in which clone 125 and BRS 2357 coffee seedlings, susceptible to M. incognita , were transplanted and growing in a greenhouse for 180 days. The experimental design used was DIC, with 6 replications, each seedling as na experimental unit. Reproduction factor (FR), number of eggs per plant (NOGR) and number of galls per gram of root (NGGR) were evaluated. The FR, NOGR and NGGR variables reduced with exposure time. All treatments showed an effect to control the population of M. incognita in infected soils, with 100% efficacy of pathogen eradication from the T45’ treatment, 60 minutes of exposure is recommended for the production of Coffea canephora seedlings. Taken together, thir work showed the high potential of thr solorizer to contribute in the root-knot nematode control to seedling production.Item Biocontrol of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in arabica coffee seedling by using fortified bacterial consortium(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2023-01-11) Pradana, Ankardiansyah Pandu; Hoesain, Mohammad; Asyiah, Iis Nur; Adiwena, Muh; Budiman, Aris; Yousif, Ahmed Ibrahim AlrashidThe damage caused by the southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in coffee plants has been reported in various countries, including Indonesia. The measures to control the nematodes on coffee seedlings and fields depend on synthetic nematicides. Addressing this issue requires not only a more environmentally friendly and cheaper technology but also equal effectiveness comparable to synthetic nematicides. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of fortified bacterial consortium (FBC) involving a combination of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF), botanical pesticide, and a bacterial consortium to control M. incognita infection in Coffea arabica seedlings. The treatments in this study consisted of control, synthetic nematicide with the active ingredient fluopyram, and various FBC concentrations ranging from 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. The results demonstrated that the application of 60% to 100% FBC increased plant growth. The most effective and efficient treatment for increasing plant growth was the application of 60% FBC. When compared with control plants, 60% FBC treatment resulted in 6.8% longer root, 9.5% higher plant, 5.3% heavier plant fresh weight, and 4.8% heavier root fresh weight. We also found that the application of 60% to 100% FBC increased the amount of chlorophyll in leaves. FBC application also reduced the number of nematodes in the soil up to 60.6%, the number of galls up to 286.4%, and the severity of root damage up to 118.2%. This study indicates that the application of 60% FBC is the most effective and efficient in controlling M. incognita and stimulating the growth of C. arabica seedlings.Item Management of coffee leaf rust using L-glutamic acid biofertilizer combined with fungicide(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2022-12-28) Cabral, Samanta Aparecida Cristiano; Mafra, Natália Moreira; Carvalho, Beatriz Fagundes de; Rezende, Dalilla CarvalhoThe use of biofertilizers is a potential tool for the management of crop diseases. Coffee leaf rust, which is commonly controlled by triazole and strobilurin fungicides, is one of the main phytosanitary challenges associated with coffee cultivation. However, the indiscriminate use of such fungicides may be harmful to the environment and human health, in addition to having a negative impact on coffee exports. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of L-glutamic acid on the incidence and severity of coffee leaf rust in the southern region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A biofertilizer made of sugarcane molasses fermented by the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicumwas used in combination with 25% L-glutamic acid and a fungicide of the triazole group registered for crops. The experimental design adopted was randomized blocks with four replications (eight plants per replicate) and seven treatments: fungicides, control test, 0.8 L ha-1 of biofertilizer, combinations of 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 L ha-1 of biofertilizer and fungicide.Three treatments were initially applied in a preventive way, before the rainy season, and then at intervals of 60 days. After seven months of treatment, we observed that coffee leaf rust incidence was significantly lower in coffee plants treated with combined products when compared to treatments of either fungicide or biofertilizer only, with a reduction of 56% and 45%, respectively, being observed. Among the combinations of biofertilizer and fungicide, coffee leaf rust incidence reduced with an increase in the biofertilizer dose, such thatthe disease incidence in plants treated with a dose of 0.1 L ha-1was 58% lower than that in plants treated with fungicide only. No differences in disease severity were observed among the treatments. In conclusion, the use of a combination of biofertilizer and fungicide is more effective for the management of coffee leaf rust than the use of the isolated products.Item Resistance of Coffea canephora as a sustainable tool for Meloidogyne incognita control(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2022-12-29) Silva, Dvany Mamedes da; Vieira Júnior, José Roberto; Rocha, Rodrigo Barros; Espindula, Marcelo Curitiba; Rudnick, Vaneide Araújo de Sousa; Fernandes, Cléberson de Freitas; Uchôa, Francisco Paiva; Bastos, Jéssica Silva Felix; Freire, Tamiris Chaves; Sangi, Simone Carvalho; Fonseca, Aline Souza daMany factors can affect coffee production, such as the root-knot nematode, a soil pathogen that can kill plants up to two years old. In infested areas, the cultivation of resistant genotypes is an economical and ecologically appropriate alternative. The present study aims to evaluate the resistance of Coffea canephora clones to Meloidogyne incognita. Evaluations were carried out in a greenhouse at Embrapa Rondônia (Porto Velho -RO) between September 2019 and November 2020. Genotypes were inoculated with M. incognita in four experiments with six replications with a completely randomized design. Root dry weight (RDW), the number of galls (NG) and the reproduction factor (RF) were evaluated. Eighty-six coffee clones were evaluated, with 50 clones showing resistance to Meloidogyne incognita and 36 clones showing susceptibility. Clones classified as resistant had an average reproduction factor of 0.33 with a range of 0.00 to 0.95, while clones classified as susceptible had an average reproduction factor of 3.48 with an amplitude ranging from 1.02 to 14.46. The number of galls was also higher in susceptible clones than in resistant clones. Considering the ten most cultivated clones, the genotypes GJ8, GJ25, P50, SK80, AS2, P42 and LB10 were classified as resistant, and the genotypes GJ3, GJ5 and SK41 were classified as susceptible. Taken together, the results identify resistant C. canephora clones as an important and sustainable tool for controlling M. incógnita.Item The role of entomopathogenic fungi in controling the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari) at various altitudes of Arabica coffee plantations(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2022-06-09) Husni, H; Jauharlina, J; Maulidia, NindaA study was conducted to study the effect of altitude on the presence and effectiveness of entomopathogenic fungi in suppressing the development of the coffee berry borer (Hypethenemus hampei Ferr.) in Arabica coffee plantations in Aceh Tengah District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. We found that only the fungus of the genus Beuveria infects CBB pests in the coffee plantations. We also found that the infection rate of this fungus against CBB pests in coffee fields located at an altitude of 900-1,100 m was higher than in coffee fields located at an altitude above 1,100 m. At first observation showed that the attack rate of entomopathogenic fungi against CBB at an altitude of 900-1,100 m; 1,100-1,300 and 1,300-1,500 m were 6%, 3% and 1%, respectively. In the second observation, the attack rate at an altitude of 900-1,100 m, 1,100-1,300 m and 1,300-1,500 m, were 8%, 2% and 1%, respectively. This indicates that the higher the temperature around the coffee plantation, the higher the infection rate (attack) of the Beuveria fungus on CBB. The correlation analysis also showed that an increase in CBB attack on coffee berries was generally followed by an increase in entomopathogenic fungi attack. This indicates that the Beuveria sp fungus has played a role in suppressing and balancing the development of CBB pests in Arabica coffee plantations in Aceh Tengah District.Item Young coffee leaves biotransformed by aspergillus oryzae in enriched source of caffeic acid(Editora UFLA, 2021) Hernández-Aguirre, Carlos; Mencía-Guevara, Alejandra; Rojas-Rojas, KatherineThis research focused on the study of young coffee leaves as a potential source of caffeic acid from the biotransformation of abundant chlorogenic acid. Aspergillus oryzae was isolated from koji rice and used for the solid-state fermentation of coffee leaves. The bioconversion of chlorogenic acid into caffeic acid was measured by HPLC-DAD. The water infusions of fermented coffee leaves were analyzed by sensory evaluation in comparison with unfermented coffee leaves as well as roasted coffee beans. The biotransformation of young coffee leaves yielded over 3.5-fold change increase of caffeic acid natural content in 87 hours, and equivalently, decreasing concentrations were observed for chlorogenic acids. Other bioactive compounds, such as mangiferin, rutin and caffeine, showed relatively minor changes. Sensory evaluation pointed out the effect of increasing caffeic acid-concentration on bitterness and astringency, which would have to be considered in the development and optimization of functional foods. As bitterness was increased by the enhanced caffeic acid concentrations, desirable flavor descriptors were also associated with fermented leaves, with the inclusion of notes traditionally associated with koji. This bioprocess proved to be highly efficient and could be implemented with relatively simple technology in-farm production systems.Item Alternative treatments diminish oviposition and viability of Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) eggs and larvae on coffee plants(Editora UFLA, 2021) Androcioli, Humberto Godoy; Hoshino, Adriano Thibes; Meneghin, Ana Maria; Ventura, Mauricio Ursi; Guide, Bruna Aparecida; Hata, Fernando Teruhiko; Menezes Junior, Ayres de OliveiraThe effects of alternative treatments on the oviposition and viability of Leucoptera coffeella eggs and larvae were evaluated. Under controlled conditions, coffee sprouts cv. IAPAR-59, eight months old, were sprayed with brown propolis extract (1%), pyroligneous extract with pepper and garlic (PEPG) (2%), silicate clay (2%), kaolin (5%), lime sulfur (2%), neem oil (1%) and kaolin + neem oil (5% + 1%), distilled water and no treatment. In a first no-choice bioassay, coffee sprouts were sprayed before oviposition and kept in cages, where adult insects within three days after emergence were released. Adults remained in the cages for 24 hours. Eggs were then counted. 10 eggs per sprout were preserved to verify larval mortality. The number of eggs when treated with propolis extract, neem oil, kaolin + neem oil and PEPG decreased in the evaluations. Treatments with neem oil caused greater larval hindrance. Eggs laid on leaves were also sprayed with the treatments. Egg viability was reduced by treatments containing neem oil and lime sulfur. Neem oil treatments resulted in slim adult emergence; intermediate viability with lime sulfur and slight hindrance with silicate clay. Finally, treatments were also sprayed on leaves, hosting first or third instar larvae. Neem treatment caused high mortality for 1st and 3rd instar larvae, however, this effect was reduced when mixed with kaolin. Nonetheless, these negative effects disappeared when considering the adult survival ratio. Results indicated that propolis extract, PEPG and neem oil treatments are suitable for reducing egg deposition, neem oil considerably diminished larvae survival and adult emergence.
