  • A Grower’s Integrated Pest Management Program for Coffee Berry Borer in Hawaii (2.6 MB)
    • The coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) or CBB, the most destructive pest of coffee in the world, was introduced to Hawaii in 2010 and is quickly spreading throughout the state. Over 950 farms and nearly 40 million pounds of coffee production are at risk. Hawaii coffees can sell for over $100/lb.

    Based on CBB research conducted in Hawaii and other coffee growing regions in the world, the first CBB Integrated Pest Management Recommendations document was published in 2013; revised editions followed in 2015 and 2016.

    This poster presents a pictorial summary of the current recommended best management practices which include field sanitation, block pruning, sampling and monitoring, biopesticide and chemical spraying, biocontrol, improved harvesting, and safe movement of infested materials.
