Coffee wilt is threatening the coffee production industry. Coffee wilt is a vascular disease of the coffee tree trunk caused by a fungus. It blocks water and sap circulation, causing leaves to fall, branches to die, and premature ripening of the fruit, which appears to be red and ripe but is not, resulting in reduced acidity and increased bitterness in the fruit affects coffee quality.

Lifeasible aims to provide effective solutions to help prevent and control coffee wilt. We have many years of experience in coffee disease prevention and control services and are familiar with various coffee disease prevention and control. Our advanced technology support and flexible and innovative solutions have laid strong support for the steady development of the coffee industry.

The importance of coffee wilt disease prevention and control

Coffee wilt disease, which can seriously reduce the quantity and quality of coffee, poses a threat to coffee growers around the world, and for regions and countries that rely on coffee cultivation or export, it can lead to serious economic losses and lead an increase in coffee prices around the world, which is not conducive to coffee market stability. Therefore, effective prevention and control of coffee wilt are of great importance to promote the sustainable development of the coffee industry.

We offer various solutions for controlling coffee wilt disease

• Identification of pathogenic bacteria by multi-gene sequence analysis

Accurate identification of coffee pathogenic strains can be used for the screening of coffee varieties resistant to wilt. It can effectively achieve coffee wilt disease control through the selection of coffee varieties with resistance to wilt. We collected coffee wilt disease specimens and isolated several coffee pathogenic strains by the tissue isolation method. We inoculated the identified strains into isolated coffee leaves for strain pathogenicity determination. We also use partial sequences of ITS, GAPDH, CHS-1, and ACT genes to perform single gene clustering analysis for each strain, respectively. By constructing phylogenetic trees, we can effectively analyze the differences in coffee pathogenic bacteria populations.

• Breeding of coffee wilt (CWD) resistant varieties

The production and breeding of CWD resistant coffee seedlings can largely suppress the effect of disease-causing organism accumulation on the yield and quality of coffee, which is important for coffee wilt prevention and control research and treatment. We used molecular markers to identify coffee wilt resistance genes, and by identifying coffee wilt resistance genes, it is important to select disease resistant varieties.
