• A Review of Ecosystem Services, Farmer Livelihoods, and Value Chains in Shade Coffee Agroecosystems (2011, background): “Namely, trees create windbreaks, slowing the horizontal spread of spores of the coffee leaf rust (Soto-Pinto et al. 2002; Schroth et al. 2000), though incidence of other fungal diseases (e.g. coffee leaf spot, Mycena citricolor Cke.) may increase with vegetation complexity at local and regional…”
• Shade tree management affects fruit abortion, insect pests and pathogens of cacao (2007, background): “Cash crops grown in tropical agroforestry systems depend strongly on ecosystem services provided by naturally occurring species (Schroth et al., 2000; Tylianakis et al., 2005).”
• Productivity of Theobroma cacao agroforestry systems with timber or legume service shade trees (2011, background): “2005); (2) favour or hamper the population dynamics and incidence of pests and diseases (and of their natural enemies) that reduce yields of both cocoa and its companion species (Schroth et al. 2000); (3) produce significant quantities of organic matter, recycle E.”
• Multifunctional shade‐tree management in tropical agroforestry landscapes – a review (2011, background): “Entomopathogenic fungi can be also more efficient under shade (Schroth et al. 2000).”
• Insect pest problems in tropical agroforestry systems: Contributory factors and strategies for management (2000, background): “In the light of the review by Schroth et al. (2000), pests of agroforestry systems based on tree crops in the humid tropics are not extensively considered here, except for some examples to illustrate specific cases.”
• Shade is conducive to coffee rust as compared to full sun exposure under standardized fruit load conditions (2012, background): “…shade is known to be conducive to Mycena citricolor, the causal agent of American leaf spot disease, (Avelino et al., 2007), to Corticium koleroga, responsible for white thread blight, and to C. salmonicolor (now Erythricium salmonicolor), the causal agent of pink disease (Schroth et al., 2000).”
