Monitoreo e identificación de especies de mosca de la fruta, en cultivos hortofrutícolas del cantón Espíndola

In Ecuador the presence of several species of fruit flies is one of the major phytosanitary problems in the fruit sector in the country, causing damage such as the destruction of the flesh, easy to pathogen attack, decreased quality and consistent reduction of production value and several species of fruit. This research was conducted in the Espíndola canton in the province of Loja; this area has an average altitude of 1,700 meters, with a population of 4,799 inhabitants. The work began with the reconnaissance, identification of horticultural areas by walking along the main access road to the Amaluza parish, in which specific locations identified every two kilometers, having the presence of a host of fruit fly, then traps were installed, being established route monitoring, which is performed weekly, with the data recorded in the formats or roadmap. Subsequently, the samples collected were taken to the Laboratory of Entomology AGROCALIDAD-LOJA for identification by Korytkowski keys and entering them. 10 specimens of fruit fly, divided into 3 genera, divided in 8 specimens of Anastrepha, Ceratitis genus 1 and genus 1 Toxotrypana, these specimens were identified: Anastrepha fraterculus (72.87%), Anastrepha striata (12.12 %), Anastrepha grandis (6.16%), Anastrepha obliqua (2.85%), Ceratitis capitata (4.53%), Anastrepha distincta (1.11%), Toxotrypana recurcauda (0.32%), Anastrepha macrura (0.15%), Anastrepha manihoti ( 0.05%) and Anastrepha atrox (0.02%).
