Behavior of Ten Coffee Cultivars against Hemileia vastatrix in San Ramón (Chanchamayo, Peru)

Abstract

The objective of this research was to know the behavior of ten coffee cultivars against Hemileia vastatrix in San Ramón (Chanchamayo, Peru). The test was carried out from April 2017 to March 2018 at the Coffee Germplasm Bank, at the Regional Development Institute “La Génova” (San Ramón, Chanchamayo) of La Molina National Agrarian University. 10 cultivars were selected (Catimor, Pache, Mundo Novo, Pacamara, Caturra, Catuaí, Bourbon, Typica, Maragogype and Geisha), each one with 5 plants (2 × 1 m) of seven years of age, installed under the shade of trees of Inga sp. (12 × 12 m). For the statistical analysis, it was worked as a Completely Random Design, considering each cultivar as a treatment and each plant as a repetition. The severity was evaluated throughout a year, in the lower, middle and upper third of each plant, using a graphic scale. For the months with high severity, a comparison of means obtained in each third of the plant and for each variety was made. Then, the severity means obtained in each cultivar were compared. The results showed that the severity was different in each of the ten cultivars evaluated. Throughout the year, the highest severity values corresponded to the months of April, May and June 2017. The severity was greater in the lower third and was decreasing until the upper third of the plant, presenting statistically significant differences. Maragogype, presented the highest severity (15.9%) and Pacamara the lowest (1.3%), values that were also statistically different.

Selección de tierras para el cultivo de café en zonas con información escasa: análisis espacial del territorio y conocimiento local

“…En este sentido, en la zona de estudio se están introduciendo las variedades Geisha, Bourbón y Caturra para reducir la incidencia de roya. Estos cultivares han sido probados con éxito en algunas zonas cafetaleras de Veracruz, Chiapas y partes de Centro y Sudamérica; pero estas zonas climáticas son más húmedas hasta por 1000 mm de precipitación (Borjas-Ventura et al 2020, Oscco et al 2020. Por otro lado, las etapas fenológicas de floración y cosecha se presentan en los meses de secas, mientras que el crecimiento del fruto durante el periodo de lluvias.…”

Probabilistic Risk Characterization of Heavy Metals in Peruvian Coffee: Implications of Variety, Region and Processing

“…Culturing selected varieties that provide a balance between flavor, acidity, body and aroma in the cup is a crucial strategy in improving market competitiveness. The most widely cultivated varieties in Peru are Bourbon, Típica, Caturra, Pache and Catimor, all of which belong to the Arabica species [7,8]. Bourbon and Típica are varieties of excellent quality, although they are not highly productive.…”
