Genetic variation is important in plant breeding. However, information on the genetic variability of Arabica coffee especially in coffee field of North Sumatra was not yet available. Magnitude of morphological variation, genotypic variation, phenotypic variation, heritability, genetic advance, genetic correlation, and phenotypic correlation of plant vigors and yield components of 28 genotypes were evaluated using nested design. This research showed morphological and genetic variations of the genotypes in the field. Based on the research locations as operational taxonomic unit, the genotypes were separated into three clusters. Most of the parameters had low to moderate genotypic variation, while phenotypic variation was moderate to high. Heritability and genetic advance were low, moderate, and high. Several plant vigors and yield components had a positive significant genetic and phenotypic correlation one another, and several had negative ones. Coffee berry borer infestation (CBBI) had a highly significant negative genetic correlation with leaf width (rG = -0.309**), leaf weight (rG = -0.671**), fruit diameter (rG = -0.320**), and bean length (rG = -0.175**). CBBI showed a significant positive genetic correlation with mesocarp pH (rG = 0.134*). To reduce CBBI, selection for higher leaf weight is better. Selection on lower pH of mesocarp could be considered to decrease CBBI.Keywords: cluster analysis, genetic correlation, genetic heritability, variability

“…The increased susceptibility of mite-infested coffee plants to white mealybugs suggests that red spider mites manipulate plant defences in the same way as other tetranychids do (Alba et al, 2015). Given that O. ilicis is an herbivore more specialized on coffee than the white mealybug, which attacks a wide range of hosts (Roda, Francis, Kairo, Culik, & Peña, 2013), it likely copes better with the specific defences of coffee plants, such as the alkaloid caffeine and the caffeoylquinic acids that act as defensive metabolites to other generalist mealybugs, like Coccus viridis (Green) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) (Fernandes et al, 2011;Green, Davis, Cossé, & Vega, 2015;Magalhães et al, 2010). Although protease inhibitors are not a defence specific to coffee plants, the study by Silva et al (2015) found that O. ilicis can down-regulate their activity in some genotypes of Coffea canephora Pierre, indicating it can potentially manipulate coffee plant defences.…”

Plants under herbivore attack often respond defensively by mounting chemical and physical defences. However, some herbivores can manipulate plant defences to their own benefit by suppressing the expression of induced defences. These herbivoreinduced changes specific to the attacking herbivore can either facilitate or impede the colonization and establishment of a second herbivore. Although recent studies have focused on the effect of multiple herbivory on plant induced response and the third trophic level, few have examined the ecological relevance of multiple herbivores sharing the host. Here, we investigated whether herbivory by the white mealybug Planococcus minor (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) or the red spider mite Olygonychus ilicis (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), two herbivores that peak in coffee plantations during the dry season, may facilitate the colonization and establishment of the other species in coffee plants. Dual-choice arena tests showed that white mealybugs preferred mite-infested over uninfested coffee plants as hosts. Fifteen days after the release of 50 first-instar P. minor nymphs, greater numbers of nymphs and adults were found on mite-infested than uninfested plants, indicating superior performance on mite-infested plants. On the other hand, female red spider mites did not show clear preference between uninfested and mealybug-infested plants and deposited similar numbers of eggs on both treatments. In a no-choice test, red spider mites performed poorly on mealybug-infested plants with a smaller number of eggs, nymphs, females and males found in mealybug-infested plants relative to uninfested plants. Thus, our results indicate that coffee plants are more likely to be infested by the red spider mite before white mealybug, rather than the inverse sequence (i.e. mealybug infestation followed by red spider mites). Our findings are discussed in the context of plant manipulation reported for pseudococcid mealybugs and spider mites.

“…The compounds emitted by C. micans were mostly alcohols, furans, and acetates. Alcohols and acetates are associated with the attraction responses of H. hampei (Mendoza Mora, ; Mathieu et al., ; Cardenas, ; Green et al., ), suggesting that C. micans emits the necessary compounds to attract CBB, but the emission concentration apparently was too low to affect CBB preferences in field conditions (field results were not significant). On the contrary, laboratory results suggested repellence for CBB.…”

“…The association between the emission of certain plant volatile compounds and the localization by an insect has been studied in many agrosystems in very specific ways, for both pest and beneficial insects (De Moraes et al., ). Many compounds have been evaluated as vegetable extracts or synthetic compounds for their effect on the control of CBB in coffee plantations (Mendesil et al., ; Dufour et al., ; Jaramillo et al., ; Njihia et al., ; Benavides & Góngora, ; Green et al., ). The results of these studies let us to conclude that it may be a blend of compounds that allows the localization or repulsion of the host, affecting the CBB.…”

Colombia is one of the world's largest producers of coffee [Coffea arabica L. (Rubiaceae)]. The coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is the main pest of coffee. This insect is controlled through an integrated pest management program that includes cultural, biological, and chemical control strategies. Despite research seeking CBB attractants and repellents, these potential management tools have not been successfully incorporated into control programs. This work proposes the use of plant functional diversity for CBB management, for which a number of plants related to coffee and weeds were selected. CBB preference to these plants was determined by olfactometry and volatile compounds emitted by them were identified. Field trials were performed to test CBB preference under field conditions. These trials determined the olfactory preference of CBB to coffee berries accompanied by material of the plants Crotalaria micans Link (Fabaceae), Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae), Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), Artemisia vulgaris L., Calendula officinalis L., Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni, and Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. (all four Asteraceae). Under laboratory conditions N. tabacum, L. camara, and C. officinalis were identified as repellents for CBB in olfactometer assays, whereas E. sonchifolia functioned as attractant. Controlled field trials corroborated CBB repellency of N. tabacum and L. camara; both release volatile sesquiterpenes. Selected candidate attractants included E. sonchifolia plants, for showing attraction in the laboratory. The potential use of these plants in agroecological management of coffee plantations is discussed.
