Reaction of Some Coffea arabica Genotypes to Strains of Colletotrichum kahawae, the Cause of Coffee Berry Disease

Omondi, C.O.; Ayiecho, P.O.; Mwang'ombe, AW; Hindorf, H. (2000-01)

Pathogenicity tests were performed on 11 genotypes of Coffea arabica using single-isolate suspensions of Colletotrichum Kahawae obtained from 90 monoconidial isolates. The objective of this study was to estimate the ...
