Abstract

Coffee (Coffea sp.) is a crop with significant economic importance; it is one of the country's most important agricultural commodities. Coffee crops, like any other high-value crop, are plagued by pests, and proper pest management is essential for successful production. The damage caused by insect pests is one of the main factors that lead to decreased production of the main crops. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest management system that takes into account the use of all available plant protection methods as well as the integration of suitable procedures to keep the pest population level below the level of damage in an economically, environmentally, and ecologically viable manner. The goal of this literature review was to collect information on studies involving integrated pest management in the coffee crop.
