“…The management of those disease and pest issues is generally achieved by synthetic pesticides, however, such practices are deemed to be negligible by many communities. At the same time, other available traditional techniques such as shade management, bark scrubbing, stem wrapping to prevent oviposition, mass trapping with the aid of pheromone-baited traps, and uprooting and burning of affected plants are not expected to control the pest trouble fully [21,22].…”

Endophytic microbes are a ubiquitous group of plant-associated communities that colonize the intercellular or intracellular host tissues while giving numerous beneficial effects to the plants. All the plant species are thought to be associated with endophytes, majorly constituted with bacteria and fungi. During the last two decades, there has been a considerable movement toward the study of endophytes associated with coffee plants. In this review, the main consideration is given to address the coffee-associated endophytic bacteria and fungi, particularly their action on plant growth promotion and the biocontrol of pests. In addition, we sought to identify and analyze the gaps in available research. Additionally, the potential of endophytes to improve the quality of coffee seeds is briefly discussed. Even though there are limited studies on the subject, it has been well recognized the potentiality of coffee endophytes in plant growth promotion through enhancing nitrogen fixation, availability of minerals, nutrient absorption, secretion of phytohormones, and other bioactive metabolites. Further, the antagonistic effect against various coffee pathogenic bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and also insect pests lead to the protection of the crop. Furthermore, it is recognized that endophytes enhance the sensory characteristics of coffee as a new field of study.

“…X. quadripes was not recorded in South Africa [ 32 ], but Schoeman [ 33 ] erroneously quoted the African coffee white stemborer, Monochamus leuconotus as X. quadripes and this wrong identification was referred by many authors viz., Venkatesha and Seetharama [ 34 ] and Jayarama et al [ 35 ]. In India, X. quadripes can cause a yield loss of 17.8–20% and in Nepal the loss was up to 60% [ 36 , 37 ]. The infestation was more prominent in highland (9.7%) area compared to lowland (6.6%); similarly old crop (8.3%) is more prone to CWSB compared to young one (0.7%) [ 38 ].…”

“…Based on the size and age of the plant the life cycle lasts between 142 and 390 days ( Fig. 4 ) [ 37 , 43 , 63 ]. In India under normal field conditions, it takes one year to complete its life cycle [ 40 ].…”

“…Borers main enemies in the gallery are woodpeckers, green barbet and ants, so creating a conducive environment for their coexistence aids in borer management [ 70 ]. Microbial agents that attack the borer include Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae , which are most host-specific [ 37 , 70 ]. Potential microorganisms such as Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Fusarium spp., Penicillium spp., few bacteria and yeast could be used to manage the borers because they posed a significant threat in laboratory artificial diets of CWSB [ 92 ].…”
