Manejo integrado del taladrador de las ramas (Xylosandrus morigerus) en el cultivo de café (Coffea arabica)” en la hacienda Chacarita

The Coffee crop, scientifically named coffea arabica or coffea robusta, is considered a tropical perennial, morphologically very variable, whose fruit is used ground or roasted, mainly to prepare and make products. currently there is a decrease in the volume of coffee exported, low international prices and a demand for coffee quality. the sale of coffee to international markets has decreased by 91% since 2011. in 2017, the province that produced the most coffee was orellana, with 3,145 tons, followed by manabí, with 1,029 tons. the negative factors in coffee cultivation are the use of unimproved varieties, poor agronomic management, and finally the presence of pests and diseases. in other countries (xylosandrus morigerus) it is considered as a limiting pest of the production of robust coffee coffea canephora, in low areas with high temperatures. the objective was to determine the handling of the branch borer (xylosandrus morigerus) in the coffee crop (coffea arabica) at the Chacarita ranch. the study was carried out at the chacarita coffee farm, located in the los ríos province, ventanas canton. whose information obtained is based on questions and talks by the technicians of the coffee farm. in the same way, questions were asked to the technicians of the farm, based on critical and analytical methods, which facilitated the development of the topic. it was concluded with a survey on the necessary information and regarding the objectives set forth at the chacarita coffee farm. the administrator of the chacarita farm explained that these damages can influence the flowering and development of the fruits. the technicians of the chacarita farm, explained that when certain damages were manifested in certain areas of the plantation, it is necessary to indicate the coffee trees per batch of up to 2 ha where and mark four branches of the tree to carry out the respective evaluations. biological control is available on the chacarita farm as part of integrated pest management, with the beauveria bassiana fungus being the most important natural enemy of the borer, to which certain ants are added
