Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The present research project generated an new knowledge regarding the most important pest of coffee worldwide. Significant information gaps where filled thanks to the present investigation and it is therefore now possible to take coffee berry borer research to the next level of field testing in order to achieve adequate and sustainable control of the pest in the short-middle term. Extensive field validation, particularly in the area of push-pull is necessary to confirm our initial field results. http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/Kenyan-scientists-find-a-solution-tocoffee-berry-borer-/-/2558/2019754/-/n1rhhyz/-/index.html
