Daños causados por la Moniliasis (Moniliophthora roreri) en el cultivo de Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en el Ecuador

This document was developed with the purpose of reporting the damage caused by Moniliasis (Moniliophthora roreri) in the cultivation of Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) in Ecuador. The national fine aroma cocoa, due to its excellent flavor, fragrance and export market demand, is a strategic species for the Ecuadorian agribusiness. Ecuador is the country that has the largest share in the world cocoa market and is considered the world's leading producer of fine and aroma cocoa. However, the yields of cocoa crops in Ecuador are affected by climatic and meteorological conditions that allow the reproduction and dispersion of M. roreri, which causes Moniliasis disease. In Ecuador, crop losses due to the presence of moniliasis can reach 60%. The method used in this research corresponds to the analysis and synthesis of the information obtained from updated texts, magazines, websites and scientific articles. Currently, the implementation of comprehensive control allows to obtain higher control rates and high efficiency in the fight against moniliasis. According to the subject studied, it was concluded that the implementation of comprehensive control is a good alternative to reduce the damage caused by this disease. Since this can use 2 methods such as cultural and genetic that are adequate and compatible, in such a way that it allows maintaining the populations of the pathogen at levels lower than those that cause economic damage.
