Description |
"At present, the potato is the main crop for small producers in the Piura mountains, both for economic income and for its nutritional value. In order for farmers to strengthen their knowledge and capacities, they must work with concrete, durable and accessible alternatives to current needs and friendly to the environment, which ensure that potato production, especially native potatoes, does not diminish and, most importantly, does not contaminate. nature. Despite its high yield potential under family farming conditions in the Andean region, its production is always affected by biotic (pests and diseases) and abiotic (frost, drought, among others) factors; which cause losses in quality and yield of the product. To mitigate the adverse effects generated by the aforementioned factors, it is strategic to implement Good Agricultural Practices before and after sowing or during its production process, as well as harvesting, post-harvesting and storage, ensuring the quality and safety of the product, the protection of the environment and the health of consumers. This year the potato crop has been affected by the populations of nymphs and adults of B. cockerelli, a sap-sucking biting hemipteran attacking the leaves that often causes drying and death of the plants. Given this problem, the farmer leaves forced to carry out applications of chemical products that allow it to reduce populations without measuring the consequences to the environment and to the health of the farmer and the final consumer. Faced with this sanitary problem, the need arose to propose this research experiment, proposing 7 chemical control strategies as an alternative for the integrated management of B. cockerelli, the results will serve to improve the IPM of this species that help or guide the small farmer.
