Evaluation and selection of coffee germplasm for resistance to prevailing nematodes in Central America : contract number : CI1-CT920090. Period : February 1994 to March 1997

Given the narrow genetic base of cultivated coffee and its sensitivity to nematodes, the main objective of the project was to characterize the main nematodes that parasitize coffee in Central America and to search for new sources of resistance that might be used in commercial varieties and resistant root-stocks.
