- Abstract
The article presents a study on the landscape content of three coffee pathogens and pests such as coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei), root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne), and fungus (Hemileia vastatrix) in 29 areas in Turrialba, Costa Rica. The study applied correlation analysis to examine abundance of coffee borer and coffee proportion in land. Results showed that coffee plots improved the survival of coffee borer and its movements.
