Abstract
The coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari) is a devastating pest that affects coffee fruits, causing significant losses in production. In Granma province, Cuba, the integrated management of this pest was evaluated in three reference areas with different agronomic conditions. The objective was to analyze the behavior of the berry borer and the effectiveness of control measures such as cultural, ethological and biological management, using the parasitoid Cephalonomia stephanoderis and traps with alcoholic attractants. Demonstration plots were established on Robusta and Arabica coffee farms, where the berry borer population was monitored and agrotechnical practices such as pruning, de-tacking and shade regulation were applied. The results showed that areas with poor agrotechnical management presented higher infestations, highlighting the importance of proper management. The parasitoid significantly reduced the stages of the berry borer, while traps proved to be effective in capturing adult females. It was concluded that the combination of cultural, biological and ethological practices is essential for pest control, although its success depends on the correct execution of agrotechnical measures.
