Department of Agriculture Mysore State. Annual Report of the Coffee Scientific Officer 1937-38

1938

It is of interest to note that the Control unsprayed plots showed a disease intensity in accordance with expectations on the theory that the length of the dry season and the showeriness of the hot weather are primary factors in governing the severity of the disease attack in September—October. [...] In the case of the latter disease it is obvious from the behaviour of the disease that it is important to cover the maximum amount of flush and this can best be attained by spraying as close to the onset of the south-west monsoon as possible. [...] Further lines of approach to this problem include the continuation of studies into the course of development of the bean with special reference to the monsoon period and the study of the water relations of the coffee plant during the same period. [...] There is however confirmation of the value of Kortegg in all the plots treated in November (including the plot treated at the end of October) with the exception of the unrubbed plots. [...] The most striking features of the year from the point of view of the coffee crop was the extreme earliness of ripening and the extent to which the crop was affected by Black Bean and similar defects.
