The document is an assignment on managing coffee rust for a course on field and horticultural crop diseases and their management. It discusses the causal fungus of coffee rust, Hemileia vastatrix, and outlines management strategies like field sanitation, spraying copper or dithiocarbamate fungicides, maintaining canopy cover to reduce dew formation, and using resistant coffee varieties to reduce disease incidence. It was submitted by a student to their professor for the 2023-2024 session.

2. MANAGEMENT
OF COFFEE RUST
Causal organism: Hemileia vastatrix

3.  Field sanitation- collecting and destroying the infected plant parts is one
of the method to control the disease.
Spraying of copper fungicides like bordeaux mixture (0.5%) at proper
intervals is an effective control measure
The dithiocarbamate fungicides are also effective in controlling the
disease
Proper maintenance of canopy cover is also one of the control measure,
since it prevents dew formation on the coffee leaves and therefore reduces
infection.
Using resistant varieties of coffee plants can reduce the disease incidence

YOU
