Abstract
Inoculating plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) protects host plants against biotic stressors such as diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the biological control of coffee leaf rust (CLR) infections. The research involved two varieties of coffee (Caturra and Pache) and three inocula of AMF: Moyobamba (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Glomus geosporum, Glomus sp.1, and Glomus sp.2), El Dorado (Acaulospora rugosa, Acaulospora spinosissima, Acaulospora lacunosa, Glomus sinuosum and Ambispora appendicula) and Huallaga (Acaulospora mellea, Acaulospora sp.1, Acaulospora sp.2, Glomus macrocarpum and Glomus sp.2), in addition to a control treatment without application of AMF (non-AMF). Inoculation of vegetatively propagated coffee plants with AMF was observed to induce tolerance to CLR. The incidence of CLR in non-AMF coffee plants was 43.7 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the inocula Moyobamba, El Dorado and Huallaga, the incidences were 22.1, 22.7 and 13.2 %, respectively. Likewise, the severity in non-AMF coffee plants was 34.8 %, while in the coffee plants subjected to the three kinds of inocula, the severities were 21.1, 20.4 and 12.0 %, respectively. Thus, mycorrhizal inoculation of coffee plants at the nursery stage reduces the negative effect of CLR infection after the plants are taken to field conditions, representing a sustainable option for their biological control.

期刊介绍:
Bioagro es una revista científica del Decanato de Agronomía de la Universidad Centroccidental “Lisandro Alvarado” (UCLA). Su periodicidad es cuatrimestral y se publica en los meses de enero, mayo y septiembre. Cada trabajo es revisado por al menos dos especialistas en el área, externos a la revista, de cuya opinión depende la aceptación definitiva. Se utiliza sistema de arbitraje doble ciego.
La revista va dirigida, fundamental pero no exclusivamente, a profesionales y técnicos del área agrícola. Su objetivo es publicar trabajos científicos originales e inéditos en ciencias agrícolas que enfoquen aspectos de agronomía, botánica y propagación de plantas, entomología y zoología, suelos, fitopatología y protección vegetal, ingeniería agrícola, genética y mejoramiento de plantas, ecología, procesamiento de productos agrícolas, biotecnología y sociales. También pueden ser publicados artículos cortos en los que se presenten descubrimientos científicos, desarrollos tecnológicos y resultados de diagnósticos integrales, en la modalidad de Notas Técnicas.
En Venezuela, se encuentra en las bibliotecas de todas las universidades e institutos de educación superior que ofrecen carreras agronómicas, así como de los entes oficiales de investigación agropecuaria. En el exterior, la revista llega a universidades y/o institutos de investigación agrícolas de todos los países de América Latina así como Estados Unidos, Canadá y España.
