Abstract

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been increasingly recognised as a sustainable approach to managing coffee pests in Central Rwanda's diverse and challenging agro-ecological settings. Field surveys were conducted across multiple coffee plantations using standardised protocols to assess pest populations and treatment efficacy under varying climatic conditions. The IPM programme demonstrated significant benefits in terms of both environmental sustainability and financial performance, indicating its potential as a viable strategy for enhancing coffee production in Central Rwanda and beyond. Farmers should be encouraged to adopt the IPM approach through targeted training and support programmes, coupled with policy incentives that promote sustainable agricultural practices.
