RESUMOO presente estudo objetivou avaliar a resistência de plantas de Coffea arabica, C. canephora e de híbridos interespecíficos, à cercosporiose (Cercospora coffeicola), importante doença da cultura do cafeeiro. The most susceptible materials were Robusta IAC 1653-7, Apoatã IAC 2258, Híbrido de Timor IAC 1559-13, Bourbon Vermelho, and Bourbon Amarelo, with levels of incidence that varied from 81.6 to 63.1% in the first experiment, and from 70 to 93.3% in the second, and severity (graded scale 1-6) from 2.92 and 3.42 in the first experiment to 2.79 and 3.64 in the second. The most resistant materials were Piatã IAC 387, Ouro Verde IAC H5010-5 and Tupi IAC 1669-33, with incidence between 28.4 and 35.5 % in the first experiment and between 21.1 and 55.6%, in the second, and severity that varied from 1.44 to 1.73 in the first experiment to 1.28 to 1.88 in the second.
