Dataset for: IPM approaches tested to manage B. cockerelli in Northern Peru

"The potato is one of the most appreciated crops for its nutritional qualities, climatic adaptation and high yields, despite its benefits, the crop in its different physiological stages is affected by a large number of factors such as: susceptibility to diseases (late blight foliar infection; early blight and tuber scab, viruses such as PVX, PVS, PLRV) and attacks by pests (potato moth, aphids, leafhoppers, Epitrix and thrips). There are quarantined pests and diseases that are a potential threat, among them; the nematodes Globodera rostochiensis, Meloidogyne chitwoodii, several viruses and bacteria such as the Zebra chip and Punta Morada diseases caused by a bacterium and a phytoplasma, both transmitted by the psyllid B. cockerelli. All of the aforementioned, the lack of seed of good phytosanitary quality, among other factors, limit its production and product quality (López U. 2005). For the management of pests and diseases in potato cultivation, the use of chemical products is the first control option, which generates a series of diseases that are harmful to the farmer and the country's economy. Through this research, it is intended to apply botanical extracts as biorational or biocidal products that are found in our country and that have been used in other countries with the objective of determining which of the 7 strategies will control B. cockerelli in a timely manner in the Quispampa hamlet. of the province of Huancabamba."
