Abstract
A case study was carried out for the analysis of the pests in the sugar cane crop and the factors that influenced their performance in the grower’s farm Dagoberto Rojas, based on the information generated by the application of the Plant Protection Service. The main result of the study reflects the presence of smut, brown rust, borers, defoliators, leafhoppers and rodents, without records of leaf scald, mosaic and elaterids in the areas of the farm during the years 2010-2020. It was considered that the situation in relation to pests was favorable in the farm, given its low incidence in the period analyzed, despite the predisposition of exhibiting a composition of varieties that provides a high percentage of areas occupied with varieties susceptible to four of the main pathologies of the crop. The greatest contribution to brown rust infection was made by blocks 0601, 0603, 0608 and 0607, while blocks 0601, 0602 and 0603 contribute to borer infestation. The management measures applied in relation to the releases of Lixophaga diatraeae contributed to the decrease the incidence of the borer, which shows the efficiency of the recommendations, so it is recommended to continue with them, as well as to adopt a management of the composition of varieties with a greater presence of genotypes in favor of increasing resistance, to protect the incidence levels of brown rust, cald, mosaic and smut.
