Manejo integrado de insectos chupadores (Bemisia tabaci, Aphis spp., Myzus persicae) en el cultivo de papaya (Carica papaya) en el Ecuador

The objective of this bibliographic work was to compile information on the integrated management of sucking insects (B. tabaci, A. gossypii., M. persicae) in the papaya crop (C. papaya) in Ecuador. The development of the research was as a non-experimental component of bibliographic character, through the technique of analysis, synthesis and summary of the information obtained. In the production of papaya crop, several insect pests can occur that affect the development, growth and yield, which require specific control; the most important pests are sucking insects such as aphids or aphids (A. gossypii and M. persicae) and whitefly (B. tabaci). The most economically important sucking insect pests of the papaya crop are: B. tabaci, A. gossypii and M. persicae. Damage by B. tabaci is produced by sap sucking; it causes the desiccation of the affected leaves; when feeding on the plants, they inject toxic substances into the plant causing chlorotic spots. Damage by M. persicae and A. gossypii occurs due to the suction of plant sap, causing weakening, stunting and yellowing of the plant; during their feeding they inject toxins, which cause leaf deformations including curling and frizzling. Integrated pest management allows the effective application of various control methods such as: cultural, biological, ethological and chemical, reducing the populations of whitefly (B. tabaci) and aphids (A. gossypii and M. persicae) in the papaya crop.
