In Global coffee industry, coffee leaf rust, a fungal disease caused by Hemileia vastatrix Berk. et Br., was first recorded in 1861 near Lake Vitoria (East Africa) on wild Coffea species. It is thought to have originated at wild Arabica coffee in its center of diversity at south-western part of Ethiopia. Its damage was first observed in cultivated coffee in Sri Lanka (Cylon) in 1868 and reported from India in 1869. Today, the disease is highly devastating at all coffee arabica and Coffea canephora coffee-growing countries, and continues to threaten coffee production with losses that range from 30 to 50%. Global crop loss due to this disease is estimated $1-2 Billion. Disease risk is increased in arabica coffee compared to canifora, and lower production is expected in the year following an epidemic due to early defoliation and drying of branches. Its control is still very difficult; however, several varieties were developed in the country using sources of resistance from germplasm collections in Portugal. However, very few are completely resistant, instead exhibiting various levels of partial resistance. The disease is currently damaging and its epidemics total change the livelihood of millions in Latin America and Africa. The review indicated that coffee leaf rust is the most devastating coffee disease in the World. Different coffee leaf rust disease management opthions are helpful to reduce it damage. Among these, use of resistant variety, cultural control, use of effective chemicals, biological control and integrated disease management options. From cultural management options, the use of organic soil fertility management was the most attractive option for resource poor small holder coffee farmers under without supplementary irrigation condition given that it reduces on both costs of inorganic chemical fertilizers and support the tolerance of coffee plant for disease and help in high yield.
