Técnicas de capturas y monitoreo de artrópodos en los agroecosistemas banano, cacao y mango en la granja san inés

Abstract

Approximately 80% of the species make up the group of arthropods, their classification is insects, arachnids, crustaceans and myriapods. When controlling these, an integrated pest management is used, with environmentally friendly strategies to conserve biodiversity. The objective of this essay is the study of arthropods present in the banana, cocoa and mango agroecosystems established at the Santa Inés Farm of the Technical University of Machala, through bibliographic research, and scientific articles that will serve as an aid for possible research. The banana farm, describes the main arthropods, among them black and striped weevil, mealybug and thrips, making traps such as Sandwich type to control black weevil and the chromatic blue ones to capture thrips, as for cocoa cultivation. , aphids, mealybugs, skeletal worms, mule ants and bedbugs; Chromatic yellow traps were analyzed to capture aphids, mealybugs, as well as gait traps to control ants. second for various fly genera, also white chromatic traps for capturing mites and blue for thrips. Capture strategies for these arthropods focus on cultural control (phytosanitary cleaning, fertilization) and ethological control (pheromones, food baits, repellants and inhibitors). In conclusion, farmers are recommended to use these techniques to capture arthropods and counteract the population of these organisms.
