Manejo integrado de Prodiplosis longifila Gagné, 1986 en producción de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum Linneo, 1794) bajo condiciones de cultivos protegidos

There are several styles of plant security systems, which provide extraordinary alternatives to recreate the best environmental conditions for crop improvement, in accordance with the climatic needs of each species and according to the climatic factors of each area and pests that have significantly affected agriculture. P. longifila (Gagné) is a neotropical, small and polyphagous pest, considered of monetary importance due to the serious damage it causes, since it critically influences tender shoots, inflorescences and small endings, deforming them and restricting tomato production. The information obtained was carried out through the technique of analysis, synthesis and summary, with the purpose of informing the reader about the integrated management of Prodiplosis longifila Gagné, 1986 in tomato production (Solanum lycopersicum Linneo, 1794) under protected crop conditions. From the above, it was determined that greenhouses generally favor the development of pests and that damage is more severe than in the open air; early detection and correct determination of the pest in question will favor decision making. The biological cycle of the insect pest P. longifila has a duration of 17.25 days, with several stages of development: eggs, pupa, prepupa, larva and adult. The damage caused by P. longifila is a lesion inside the tissues whose symptomatology is provided as a blackening of the tissues, both in the leaves and at the base of the fruits. Within the biological control there are the following predators for the management of the black leafhopper: Chrysoperla asoralis, Nabis capsiformis, Methacantus tenellus, larvae and adults of coccinellids, parasitoids together with Synopeas sp, and entomopathogens such as Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium lecanii. For cultural control of P. longifila, weed removal, mulching, fertilization to reinforce shoots and adequate irrigation to keep away high humidity and not generate favorable conditions for insect pupation are advised
