Coffee Berry Borer

Luis Aristizabal gave 3 workshops in Ka’u and 1 in Kona to coffee farmers in September 2015, increasing their knowledge in Coffee Borer Beetle Integrated Pest Management. The emphasis was on getting the infestation below 5% while using harvest and sanitation techniques more intensely to reduce beetle pressure and fungus costs.

Dr. Luis Aristizabal is a scientist from Colombia who has spent his career focused on control of pests in coffee. For many years, he has done participatory research with farmers on CBB management. While with the coffee research organization, Cenicafe, he taught many farmer workshops on IPM for CBB, as well as published a number of studies on biological control. Currently with the University of Florida, he brings a unique voice to the table for Hawaiian farmers.
