Abstract: In this paper, we propose and analyse a nonlinear deterministic mathematical model for the impact of temperature variability on coffee berry disease in coffee plants. In the analysis of the model, we derived the basic reproduction numbers at minimum temperature T₀ and maximum temperature T_m which help us in establishing the local and global stability of disease-free and endemic equilibrium points. The global stability of endemic equilibrium is determined by using a Lyapunov function. We proved that the model exhibits forward and backward bifurcation by the concept of centre manifold theory. Sensitivity indices are also discussed. We extend the proposed model into the optimal control problem by incorporating three controls. We also analyse the necessary conditions for the optimal control of the disease by applying Pontryagin minimum principle. In addition, we investigate the cost-effective analysis to determine the most effective strategy with minimum costs. Finally, we present the numerical simulations.
