Incidence of the coffee leaf miner (Leucoptera coffeella G. M.) and Coccus viridis Gr. in plantations of Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner under fertilization system
Main Article Content
Abstract
The behavior of the leaf miner of the coffee was evaluated (Leucoptera coffeella G. M.) and Coccus viridis Gr. during the 2012-2013 period in Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner plantations under fertilization system, in areas of the Estación Experimental Agro-Forestal Tercer Frente, Santiago de Cuba province, planted on a Brown ochre soil without carbonates (Hernández and col., 1994) at 3 m x 1.5 m distance under Gliricidia sepium shade to 150 msnm of height. A variance analysis previous transformation of the data in arch sen √p was carried out. And correlations were carried out between the incidence of the plagues and the climatic factors. The fertilization system applied didn’t influence in the incidence of L. coffeella and C. viridis. The biggest affectations for L. coffeella reached the biggest values in August of the 2012 with 21.3 % and 14.5 % in September of the 2013 for L. coffeella, while it stops C. viridis it was 12.6 % and 10.23 %, respectively. A significant and positive correlation was obtained between the development of the plagues and the prevalent temperatures in the area. The biggest values in the index of parasitism of miner were observed in January with 13 % and in March with 18.5 %. A significant and positive correlation was obtained among the levels of parasitism of L. coffeella and the precipitations happened in the area during the rehearsal. There was not evidence of the negative effects of the incidence of the pests in the yields during the rehearsal.
