Abstract
Phytosanitary management in protected agriculture systems is crucial to ensuring crop productivity and sustainability. Horticultural production using Protected Farming systems in Cuba is primarily destined for the border and domestic markets, as well as some exports. Intensive production results in a high incidence of pests that limit productivity. This study aimed to update knowledge on the presence of pests in Protected Farming systems in Cuba. A diagnosis was conducted during the 2013-2017 period, applying a participatory method through workshops covering 229 farms in the country's 15 provinces. Pest information was grouped by climatic season, crop type, and region, and analyzed using absolute frequency. The results determined that the rainy season had the highest pest frequencies, with the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and the leaf miner Liriomyza trifolii being the most common. The eastern region of the country reported the highest rates for most pests, with tomato crops identified as the most susceptible. It was concluded that the tropical climate and global warming exacerbate phytosanitary problems, with the rainy season being classified as the season of greatest risk. There is clear regional and crop-specific variability in pest incidence, which requires differentiated management strategies.
