Frequent sprays of fungicides and the improvement of agronomic practices have been the primary management strategies for controlling this devastating disease. However, the high cost of products and labor coupled with the harmful effects of chemical inputs have made frequent applications of fungicides economically and environmentally unfeasible. The aim of this study was to determine fungicide efficacy against CLR, duration of protection, and cost of applications in field trials conducted on commercial coffee farms on Hawaii Island in 2022 and 2023. The translaminar fungicide was the most effective product tested, keeping CLR below 2 % over a 12-week period. Copper-based fungicides were also effective at keeping CLR below the 5 % action threshold, although the duration of protection was shorter (6–8 weeks). Copper fungicides were the most cost-effective of all products examined ($126/acre), followed by the translaminar ($140/acre). In contrast, the <em>Bacillu</em>s-based fungicides and the botanical fungicide did not reduce CLR incidence and were more expensive to apply ($138-$198/acre). The findings presented here can be used by coffee growers to decide which fungicides to spray based on disease levels, time of year, management style, and budget. Future research is needed to determine optimal fungicide rotation strategies given the farm type and starting CLR incidence. This rotation will need to consider application timing, duration of product efficacy, as well as product compatibility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10785,"journal":{"name":"Crop Protection","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 107269"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143948038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The susceptibility of <em>C. medinalis</em> varied significantly, with resistance ratios ranging from low to high for acephate (RR 5.07–172.53), high for quinalphos (RR 133.24–611.37), and moderate to high for carbosulfan (RR 25.40–347.96).

However, whiteflies significantly reduce cassava yields, jeopardizing farmers' incomes and food security. Aside from direct damage, the cassava whitefly transmits cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD), leading to potential yield losses ranging from 70 % to 100 %. The control of whiteflies in cassava cultivation is complicated by the prevalence of varieties susceptible to these pests and the farmers' limited knowledge of effective insecticide use. A study employing both quantitative and qualitative survey methods was conducted to assess smallholder farmers' awareness and adoption of the whitefly-tolerant cassava variety, Mkumba, and the systemic insecticide imidacloprid. Findings reveal that 35.2 % of farmers grew Mkumba, while 31.9 % utilized chemical control. Furthermore, 34.7 % identified whiteflies on cassava, with 45.4 % associating sooty moulds on leaves with whitefly feeding. Awareness of these control technologies was evident among farmers. However, factors such as the farmer's age and sex influenced the adoption of Mkumba, with barriers including the limited availability and high costs of insecticides and certain undesirable traits of Mkumba hindering broader uptake.
