Indonesian Catimor-type variety (Timor Hybrid 832/1 x Caturra) released in 1993, highly rust resistant in trials though local resistance has weakened.
Kartika 1 is an introgressed, Catimor-related variety developed by Indonesia's coffee and cocoa research institute, ICCRI, from Timor Hybrid 832/1 x Caturra. It came to Indonesia from Portugal's rust research center in 1985 and was released in 1993. World Coffee Research rates it as highly rust resistant in its global trials, though resistance has declined locally in Indonesia, and describes it as suited to agroforestry. It is a tall plant with average bean size, medium yield and good quality potential at high altitude, and it is susceptible to nematodes and coffee berry disease.
