Effects of Inga densiflora on the microclimate of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) and overall biomass under optimal growing conditions in Costa Rica (2010, background): “…flowering intensity and hence yield, shade can result in a very humid micro-environment conducive to higher incidence of fungal diseases such as leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) and American leaf spot (Mycena citricolor), especially at high altitude and cloudy conditions (Avelino et al. 2006, 2007).”
Shade is conducive to coffee rust as compared to full sun exposure under standardized fruit load conditions (2012, background): “As a consequence, a high degree of shade may negatively affect the development of this disease through the effects of shade on fruit load (Avelino et al., 2004, 2006).”
