Sumario:This study aimed to develop a warning system platform for coffee rust incidence fifteen days in advance, as well as validating and regionalizing multiple linear regression models based on meteorological variables. The models developed by Pinto were validated in five counties. Experiments were set up in a randomized block design with five treatments and five replications. The experimental plot had six lines with 20 central plants of useful area. Assessments of coffee rust incidence were carried out fortnightly. The data collected from automatic stations were adjusted in new multiple linear regression models (MLRM) for five counties. Meteorological variables were lagged concerning disease assessment dates. After the adjustments, two models were selected and calculated for five counties, later there was an expansion to include ten more counties and 35 properties to validate these models. The result showed that the adjusted models of 15–30 days before rust incidence for Carmo do Rio Claro and Nova Resende counties were promising. These models were the best at forecasting disease 15 days in advance. With these models and the geoinformation systems, the warning platform and interface will be improved in the coffee grower region of the south and savannas of the Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
