Status of Coffee Leaf Rust Resistance on Kenyan Commercial Resistant Cultivars

S. G. Ligabo, E. K. Gichuru, O. Kiplagat & B. M. Gichimu · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2015

Background: Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is a fungal disease caused by Hemileia vastatrix Berk. and Br. The pathogen is constantly evolving leading to rapid break down in resistance of once resistant coffee varieties. To date, more than 49 races of the pathogen have been characterized...
