Coffee is a significant cash crop and beverage globally, but its production is constrained by factors like Coffee Leaf Rust disease caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix. Kenya, a major coffee-producing country, has implemented various management strategies to control the disease.
Coffee is one of the most important cash crops and beverages in the world. Production of coffee is limited by many factors, which include insect pests and diseases, among others. One of the most devastating coffee diseases in many coffee-producing countries is Coffee Leaf Rust caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix. Kenya is a coffee-producing country and has conducted studies to understand and manage the disease. Management strategies for the disease include the development and use of fungicide spray programs, cultural control practices, breeding resistant coffee varieties, and biological control agents. This paper reviews the status of the disease and management options applied in Kenya.
