Fruit rots reduce coffee production worldwide. Eight Colletotrichum species have been reported to cause coffee fruit rots; the most important is C. kahawae, the cause of coffee berry disease (CBD) in Africa. It is unknown whether these fruit rot pathogens can be dispersed by the coffee berry borer (CBB, Hypothenemus hampei) or whether Beauveria bassiana (a natural enemy of CBB) might reduce coffee fruit rots. We identified pathogens causing coffee fruits rots in Puerto Rico and evaluated whether B. bassiana reduced fruit rot and whether CBB could disperse pathogens. A total of 2,333 coffee fruit with CBB damage were collected; of these, 1,197 had visible growth of B. bassiana. C. fructicola, C. siamense, C. theobromicola, and C. tropicale were isolated and identified from the fruit using morphological traits and phylogeny of three nuclear genes. All four species caused internal and external rot after inoculation of healthy green coffee fruit. Coffee fruit treated with B. bassiana had significantly less fruit rot than untreated fruit, suggesting B. bassiana can protect against fruit rot. To test whether B. bassiana had a protective effect, B. bassiana and Colletotrichum were coinoculated on coffee fruit. Fruit inoculated with both B. bassiana and Colletotrichum had significantly less rot than fruit inoculated with Colletotrichum alone. To test if CBBs dispersed the pathogens, CBBs were exposed to Colletotrichum conidia and placed on green fruit, which resulted in fruit rot. This study identifies new pathogens causing coffee fruit rot, shows that C. kahawae is not the only Colletotrichum that attacks green fruits, suggests a role for B. bassiana in disease management and demonstrates CBB can disperse the pathogens.

Can the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei, or CBB) use host plants other than coffee for food and shelter? The use of fruits other than coffee has been reported. However, the validity of these reports depends on accurate identification of CBB, which is sometimes uncertain. In this study we sampled potential alternate hosts in coffee farms in Puerto Rico. Fruits with perforations were collected and examined for the presence of scolytid beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). Scolytids were identified by morphology and DNA barcoding of the COI gene. Association between the presence of Inga vera and Guarea guidonia trees and infestation rate of CBB in coffee fruits was evaluated. Food preference tests were performed in the laboratory. A total of 3563 beetles were found and 587 were identified as Hypothenemus spp.; of these, 85 identifications were confirmed by DNA barcoding. Twenty-seven of the beetles identified were H. hampei, mostly in I. vera fruits in periods between coffee crops. Most scolytids identified were H. obscurus. In preference tests, some CBB initially penetrated G. guidonia fruits, but eventually chose coffee. There was no evidence of feeding or reproduction in fruits of G. guidonia or Cajanus cajan. The results show that in Puerto Rico it is rare to find CBB in fruits of alternate hosts. The scarcity of coffee fruits in the off-season might cause some CBBs to take refuge in other fruits, but they did not feed or reproduce in them in laboratory tests. Understanding the refugia of CBB in the off-season may be useful for designing effective management strategies.
