Incidencia de artrópodos fitófagos y enemigos naturales en una colección de anonáceas de la provincia de Artemisa, Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
The development of Annonaceae in Cuba is limited among other causes by the attack of pests. It was evaluated the incidence of arthropods in an ex situ collection of Annonaceae in Cuba by evaluations realized during six months. The species examined were sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.), soursop (A. muricata L.), atemoya hybrid (A. squamosa x A. cherimola Mill) pond apple (A. glabra L.), custard apple (A. reticulata Lin.) and Rollinia spp. Were collected randomely 25 leaves and two to five fruits per tree at each sampling. A survey of the phytophagous species on leaves and fruits with an incidence of 80 % was performed, highlighting families: Tetranychidae, Tenuipalpidae, Eriophydae, Diaspididae, Pseudococcidae and Aleurodidae. The presence of natural enemies was observed with an incidence of 10 %, highlighting Phytoseiidae and Stygmaeidae. Furthermore, the presence of Bephratelloides sp. at different stages was identified, which is regarded as the major pest of the crop. Was obtained a 33 % of Incidence of fruit’s perforations, a 66 % was mummified or with anthracnose and a 14 % perforated seeds. The present study yielded an updated inventory phytophagous arthropods and natural enemies in crops Anonáceas.
