Climatic drivers of coffee disease dynamics: insights from a decadal study on Hemileia vastatrix and emerging fungal pathogens in southern India
Climate change–driven variations in rainfall pattern and temperature are increasingly influencing disease dynamics in India’s coffee plantations. Erratic and prolonged rainfall has led to persistent canopy wetness, favoring outbreaks of black rot, stalk rot, leaf spot, and berry infections, which cause severe defolia...
