Summary

Regarding the history and importance of coffee cultivation, it is estimated that about 25 million families in nearly 70 countries, most of them developing or poor, depend on it. In Colombia, 540,000 families cultivate it in approximately 850,000 ha in more than 600 municipalities in 22 of the 32 departments, which makes it the agricultural product with the highest value and impact. Coffee rust, the most important coffee disease, caused by the Hemileia vastatrix fungus, registered in 1861 in Africa and spread throughout the coffee world, has been and will be linked to this history. The losses it causes can range between 20% and 80% in production, which affects quantity and quality, with serious economic, social and environmental damage in all coffee economies. Despite many efforts to prevent its entry into America, rust arrived in Brazil in 1970 and Colombia in 1983; the country, the National Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) and Cenicafé had been preparing for decades beforehand. In this presentation, historical aspects of the disease, its current and potential importance, issues of biology and epidemiology, and its dynamics within the coffee production systems in Colombia are addressed considering that by 2020, 83% of the area was planted with resistant varieties developed by FNC – Cenicafé and 17% was left with susceptible varieties that require management. The environmental, climate and microclimate, and crop factors that favor rust, as well as the components required for the integral management of the crop and its integrated adequate control, including chemical control are discussed. All this information is supported in scientific publications and the recommendations given by FNC - Cenicafé for Colombia are presented.
