Chapter synopsis: This chapter reviews the main soil-borne insect pests and fungal diseases affecting coffee plants. It begins by assessing insect pests such as termites, leaf-cutting ants, mealybugs, cicadas, root flies and White grubs. In each case, the chapter includes an overview, discussión of pest life cycle, damage caused and management options. The chapter then discusses key soil-borne fungal diseases: Rhizoctoniosis, Rosellinia root rot, Ceratocystis canker stain and Coffee Wilt Disease. In each case it covers disease symptoms, factors affecting incidence, epidemiology and disease management. An accompanying chapter reviews the main soil-based nematodes affecting coffee plants.
