Other Plant Disease — Colombia
Growers in the department of Risaralda are worried about the new coffee shoots being affected by a fungus that has been the subject of an alert by the Coffee Growers Federation.
So far, the department has a low disease incidence of around 2 per cent, but it is recommended that farmers keep monitoring their plantations. Spread of the fungus can seriously affect coffee yield. Other parts of the country are also at risk.
