Application technology for chemically controlling coffee leaf miner in the cerrado of Minas Gerais State

Abstract: Leaf miner is a major coffee tree pest that causes severe losses. Most farmers perform chemical control in an attempt to reduce damage to the crop. Thus, the current study aims to analyze spraying efficiency and control effectiveness according to the management plan adopted in a coffee farm in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais. The application used Arbus sprayer, model 2,000, at the pressure of 600 kPa. The droplet spectrum was analyzed using water-sensitive paper. The plant architecture influence on the application… Show more

“…The monitoring activity was according to a methodology adapted from Zampiroli et al (2017); each plot was monitored separately, including the controls without insecticide application. A leaf in the third or fourth pair of plagiotropic branches was observed at the median height of the plant, on the north and south surfaces, where 60 leaves were sampled per plot, summing up to 240 leaves per treatment.…”

“…The coffee leaf miner is an exotic African pest and it is considered monophagous. High attack levels reduce the photosynthetic capacity due to the leaf area reduce and their occurrence is strongly tied to meteorological factors (ZAMPIROLI et al, 2017). It may cause up to 70% defoliation (SCALON; MATEUS; ZACARIAS, 2013).…”

“…Improving the effectiveness of pesticide application for controlling insects, mites, and pathogens in coffee cultivation is a major challenge for coffee farmers (Zampiroli et al, 2017). Indeed, even though a wide range of variable-rate technologies are available to crop farmers, this is not the case for tree crops (e.g., coffee; Dou et al, 2018).…”
