Common physiological disorders
This topic covers the most frequent physiological (non-pathogenic) disorders in coffee plants, how they differ from diseases, their causes, and their impact on yield and bean quality.
Shade management
Water relations and drought tolerance
This topic explores how coffee plants manage water, how drought affects their physiology and productivity, and the strategies farmers use to improve resilience in water-limited environments.
Photosynthesis, shade response, and stress
This topic explores how coffee plants capture energy through photosynthesis, how they respond to shade versus direct sunlight, and how environmental stress affects their growth, yield, and cup quality.
