- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoMonitoreo de plagas asociadas al cultivo de manzana en las comunidades de Agüilán y Guapán de la parroquia Guapán del cantón Azogues(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2021) Rodríguez Sánchez , Juan Carlos; Tambo Caraguay , Víctor Raúl; 0302767157The Parishes Guapán and Agüilán are locally known for their production of chemical-free apples; nonetheless, it has been identified that farmers have a generalized lack of knowledge about the identification and adequate control of pests. Thus, this research aims to monitor the pests associated with apple tree crops that are present in these Parishes as a strategy to propose cultural, biological, and mechanical control methods for the proper management of orchard pests. To meet the above, an intervention was conducted in the apple orchards of Guapán and Agüilán to place several Mcphail, Delta, lure and light traps to capture and identify the types of pests present in the crops and to verify or rule out the presence of the fruit fly. Furthermore, a data collection instrument was applied to determine the knowledge of the fruit grower population on pest identification and control methods. Among the main results obtained, it can be mentioned that evidence of the presence of the fruit fly was found in some of the crops and that the apple fruit growers of Agüilán and Guapán are not prepared to face a potential pest threat in their orchards due to the lack of knowledge and concern of the authorities.
