Abstract– Biotechnology applied to nematode management in coffee plantations offers sustainable solutions to the damage caused by Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus. Through the use of mycorrhizae, endophytic fungi, biofumigants, and resistant germplasm, the use of chemical inputs is reduced, soil health is improved, and crop productivity is increased. These strategies, supported by institutions such as FAO and IHCAFE, promote regenerative and efficient agricultural practices. Furthermore, the scientific and institutional approach fosters innovation and sustainability in coffee farming, strengthening the resilience of production systems and improving the quality of life of smallholder producers.

Resumen - La biotecnología aplicada al manejo de nematodos en cafetales ofrece soluciones sostenibles frente a los daños causados por Meloidogyne y Pratylenchus. Mediante el uso de micorrizas, hongos endófitos, biofumigantes y germoplasma resistente, se reduce el uso de químicos, se mejora la salud del suelo y se incrementa la productividad del cultivo. Estas estrategias, respaldadas por instituciones como la FAO e IHCAFE, promueven prácticas agrícolas regenerativas y eficientes. Además, el enfoque científico e institucional impulsa la innovación y sostenibilidad en la caficultura, fortaleciendo la resiliencia de los sistemas productivos y mejorando la calidad de vida de los pequeños productores.
