Manejo de Bemisia tabaci en cultivo de pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.) en el litoral ecuatoriano

SUMMARY The pepper is native to the area of Bolivia and Peru, where in addition to Capsicum annuum L. at least four other species are grown. Agriculture is the great pantry that guarantees humanity food and economic sustenance for those who practice agriculture. The preservation of this wealth is essential in the development of sustainable agriculture and food security. As an important part of agricultural crops are insects, especially pollinators, however, there are also insect pests that cause damage to crops, and along with them natural enemies. Insect pests cause great damage to crops, before which, the farmer makes use of chemical control, which, when used indiscriminately and repeatedly, has caused the disappearance of some species and the appearance of resistant species, contamination of the environment, increased risk of worker poisoning and higher pesticide residues in food products. The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is one of the most important pests of interest to world agriculture. It is a species widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, characterized by having a high reproductive rate and attacking more than five hundred species of host plants. The excessive use of insecticides generates a high population incidence and resistance of the whitefly towards the different pesticides used in the control of this pest insect. This in turn, brings as consequences problems of contamination and damage to health, it is recommended to use other methods of control of the pest insect in pepper cultivation, such as the use of ethological traps and the use of biological controls with endemic species. and natural in the area.
