Manejo integrado de Pestalotiopsis palmarum en el cultivo de palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis Jacq)

Foliar diseases have received increasing attention, especially in hybrid oil palm cultivars, where leaf blight is caused by Pestalotiopsis sp. The main objective of the research was to specify the integrated management of Pestalotiopsis palmarum in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) cultivation. This paper compiled information from scientific articles and virtual libraries by using synthesis, analysis, and summary. The results indicate that Pestalotiopsis, also known as foliar fungus, causes typical manifestations in oil palm cultivation, characterized by necrotic lesions, especially on older and lower leaves. The infection can also affect the upper part of the plant. This serious disease significantly affects production and can be linked to other organisms that facilitate its penetration. Various management methods, including cultural control, chemical control, and Trichoderma viride products, are essential to control the disease, and implementation during the infection cycle is crucial. The findings indicate that Pestalotiopsis, also known as leaf aphid, in oil palm cultivation includes necrotic lesions, particularly on old leaves and the lower part of the plant. These lesions do not have a reddish color, unlike other leaf spots, the disease is caused by a fungus Pestalotiopsi and the vector Leptopharsa gibbicarina. Control methods include the cultural elimination of diseased plants, chemical control using specific fungicides and the use of Trichoderma viride-based products as an alternative to biological control.
