Coffee is an easily cultivated tropical cash crop with low management costs, early returns, and high production value. It is one of the world's top three beverages and the second largest commodity in global trade today after oil. There are roughly 100 varieties worldwide, and Arabica coffee is one of the most commercially valuable varieties.

Lifeasible is committed to plant science research and has many years of experience serving the plant science community. We offer a full range of coffee research services and continue to provide effective solutions to coffee development challenges. We play an important role in preventing and controlling coffee diseases and increasing the economic benefits of coffee.

Common types of Arabica coffee diseases

Common Arabica coffee diseases	Hazard characteristics
Arabica coffee leaf rust disease	The most susceptible disease in Arabica coffee planting mainly affects the leaves, mild disease leads to Arabica coffee yield reduction and in serious cases, will lead to overall plant death.
Colletotrichum kahawae	Colletotrichum kahawae has a wide distribution and serious damage and is one of the most important diseases of Arabica coffee, which is more serious to the coffee fruit.
Damping-off diseases	Damping-off diseases of Arabica coffee have a wide distribution and cause damage to seedlings during the seedling process, often resulting in extensive death of coffee seedlings in the seedbed stage, and is one of the most important diseases of Arabica coffee seedlings.

Arabica coffee diseases can cause massive leaf and fruit drops, branch drying, and in severe cases, the entire coffee plant can die. Coffee diseases can seriously affect coffee yield and quality, causing huge economic losses. Therefore, it is important to provide effective solutions for preventing and controlling Arabica coffee diseases.

Arabica coffee disease control solutions

In addition to managing agricultural cultivation conditions, chemical control, and other methods of prevention and control, we are mainly using biotechnology means for preventing and controlling small grains of coffee disease.

• Breeding for disease-resistant Arabica coffee

We combine the biological characteristics of Arabica coffee with the ecological environment of the origin, and through the collection of germplasm resources, effectively used to screen and create excellent disease-resistant Arabica coffee varieties, we have successfully bred several Arabica coffee disease-resistant varieties, providing a viable seed guarantee for the development of coffee industrialization.

• Identification of Arabica coffee pathogens to help the selection and breeding of disease-resistant Arabica coffee varieties

By comparing the sequenced ITS sequences with the known fungal sequences, we obtained the genus information of the pathogenic fungus of small-grain coffee, which can be applied to the screening of disease-resistant Arabica coffee varieties, and has been well applied in the screening of disease-resistant varieties.
