Infection model for analyzing biological control of coffee rust using bacterial anti-fungal compounds

چکیده
Coffee rust is one of the main diseases that affect coffee plantations worldwide [6]. This causes an important economic impact in the coffee production industry in countries where coffee is an important part of the economy. A common method for combating this disease is through the use of copper hydroxide as a fungicide, which can have damaging effects both on the coffee tree and on human health [9]. A novel method for biological control of coffee rust has been proven to be an effective alternative to copper hydroxide fungicides is anti-fungal compounds. In this paper, we develop and explore a spatial stochastic model for the interaction of bacteria and coffee rust in a coffee plantation. As well as, analyse equilibria for specific control strategies, compute conditions for stability under specific conditions, and perform numerical experiments under local and global control strategies.

Identification of Putative Coffee Rust Mycoparasites via Single-Molecule DNA Sequencing of Infected Pustules.
The interaction of crop pests with their natural enemies is a fundament to their control. Natural enemies of fungal pathogens of crops are poorly known relative to those of insect pests, despite the diversity of fungal pathogens and their economic importance. Currently, many regions across Latin America are experiencing unprecedented epidemics of coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix). Identification...

Substituted 1, 2, 4- Triazoles have shown multiple biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti fungal, etc. 5-mercapto triazoles were prepared from the potassium dithiocarbazinates. These triazoles were used for preparation of different derivatives by two different schemes. In the first scheme the Mannich bases were prepared from 5- marcapto-s triazole Quinazolines. The 5-Marcato-s-Tr...
متن کاملModelling coffee leaf rust risk in Colombia with climate reanalysis data
Many fungal plant diseases are strongly controlled by weather, and global climate change is thus likely to have affected fungal pathogen distributions and impacts. Modelling the response of plant diseases to climate change is hampered by the difficulty of estimating pathogen-relevant microclimatic variables from standard meteorological data. The availability of increasingly sophisticated high-r...

A number of different fungal hyperparasites have been observed to grow in pustules of rust fungi. Examples of these are Verticillium (HASSEBRAUK 1936, KOTTHoFF 1937, GAMS 1971), Darluca fi/um (KRANz 1973), Monocillium nordinii (TSUNEDA and HIRATSUKA 1980), Alternaria and Cladosporium species (OMAR and HEATHER 1979). Verticillium lecanii may be the most interesting fungus for biological control ...
