<B>incidencia y medidas de control de la roya del café en la producción cafetalera del ecuador</b>

Abstract

In this study, an approach to coffee production in Ecuador was made. However, as a country with a coffee tradition, coffee production has suffered a deep recession since the 1990s and has yet not recovered. The methodology of this study is documentary. Among all the conclusions, the most remarkable to be mentioned is that the very low production experienced by coffee is related to Hemileia vastatrix coffee rust, which has caused a decrease in production for various reasons. Many farmers do not know how to control this disease, so they do not have the proper training, they do not know the stages of coffee rust, they do not know when and how to control it. Being one of the most devastating diseases, there is much discussion about the management of rust or the form of control that can be used, and most coffee growers have focused on the use of fungicides and cultural practices, biological one is one of the most promising measures, the use of endophytic microorganisms. But when the disease is very advanced, the use of systemic products helps the protection of the plant to be more lasting and less harmful.
