Concluding Remarks Acknowledgments Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary In this chapter we describe the current state of tropical insect chemical ecology in Latin America with the aim of stimulating the use of this important tool for future generations of technicians and professionals workers in insect pest management. Sex pheromones of tropical insectsUNESCO that have been identified to– date EOLSS are mainly used for detection and population monitoring. Another strategy termed mating disruption, has been used in the control of the tomato pinworm, Keiferia lycopersicella, and the Guatemalan potato moth, Tecia solanivora. Research into other semiochemicals such as kairomones in tropical insects SAMPLErevealed evidence of their presence CHAPTERS in coleopterans. However, additional studies are necessary in order to confirm these laboratory results. In fruit flies, the isolation of potential attractants (kairomone) from Spondias mombin for Anastrepha obliqua was reported recently. The use of semiochemicals to control insect pests is advantageous in that it is safe for humans and the environment. The extensive use of these kinds of technologies could be very important in reducing the use of pesticides with the consequent reduction in the level of contamination caused by these products around the world.

Este insecto Lepidóptero de la familia Gelechiidae fue encontrado causan- do daños graves a los cultivos de papa (Solanum tuberosum), lo que afectó negativamente la economía local. Aunque este insecto tiene movilidad re- ducida, ha invadido varios países en Centro y Sur América así como las Islas Canarias en España. El daño causado por T. solanivora ha sido detec- tado en tubérculos cosechados en campo y en almacenamiento. El Impacto económico de la plaga en países del área andina es mucho mas serio que en Centro América, principalmente debido a que la papa es un importante alimento básico de las familias y su producción es intensiva. Por lo tanto, T. solanivora es considerada el insecto plaga mas perjudicial del cultivo 1 MSc. en Biotecnología, dvillanu@eafit.edu.co, Universidad EAFIT, Medellín, Colombia. 2 PhD.

  • Guatemalan Potato Moth
    Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management/Division of Agriculture Guatemalan Potato Moth Tecia solanivora_________________________________________________________________ The Potato moth is most likely indigenous to Guatemala but it has extended its range through Central and South America and Mexico. It can potentially spread internationally through potato shipping which carries the eggs, larvae, and pupae. Spreading may also occur though shipping egg and pupae infested soil, potato plants, reused potato bags, and illegal potato shipping. This pest is able to adapt to different climate zones from subtropical to mildly colder zones where the plant hardiness zone is 7‐13. Adult T. solanivora, photo by Chemtica Description: Eggs are white and are usually found near the base of the plant, uncovered tubers, and occasionally on foliage. Larvae hatch with a transparent‐white color which then turns to a cream color with darker brown spots, then a yellow‐green with darker spots. They burrow into tubers where they feed and grow. When Tuber damage by Tecia solanivora larvae, photo by Cornell University they are ready to pupate, they exit the potato into the soil, close to the surface, where they Damage: form a cocoon of silk and other material. In This pest is considered to be one of the most serious storage facilities, they can make cocoons and destructive pests of potatoes. The larvae feed anywhere (e.g. walls, potato sack, etc.). Adults throughout the potato producing holes (galleries) that are nocturnal and fly short distances while collect residues of food, waste (frass), and shed skin staying close to the ground. They are small and which contaminates the potato.

Km. 37.5 de la Carretera Federal México- Pachuca, Tecámac Estado de México C. P. 55740. Autor de correspondencia: [email protected] RESUMEN La SAGARPA a través de la Dirección General de Sanidad Vegetal del SENASICA, realiza una priorización de las plagas de interés cuarentenario para México, con mayor riesgo de ingreso y que amenacen la seguridad alimentaria, para posteriormente implementrar estrategias de detección oportuna. Entre ellas está Tuta absoluta, de alto riesgo de introducción y de gran importancia para el cultivo de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum). Derivado de las acciones de detección mediante el establecimiento de redes de trampeo, se tuvieron capturas de ejemplares sospechosos a T. absoluta, una vez realizado el diagnóstico fitosanitario se determinó que correspondía a Tecia solanivora, Povolný, plaga de importancia para el cultivo de papa. Por lo anterior se planteó el objetivo de mostrar la distribución actual de la palomilla guatemalteca de la papa en México, asociada a las detecciones en la red de trampeo para la palomilla del tomate; con base en el analisis de la información se observó que la palomilla guatemalteca de la papa se encuentra presente en: Chiapas, Puebla, Quintana Roo y Veracruz. Asimismo, Veracruz fue la entidad federativa que más muestras envió durante 2013 a enero de 2017. Palabras clave: Plaga, diagnóstico fitosanitario, CNRF.

The potatoes trade between countries, the interest in introducing new potato varieties, the great adaptability of the insect to different agro-ecological conditions, and the globalization world are serious risks in other potato growing countries. This pest was first recorded in Europe in the Canary Islands, Spain, in 1999, later in Galicia (2015) and then in Asturias (2016). Unfortunately, there are no effective chemical treatments for field control, and their integrated management has variable efficacy. Therefore, the implementation of a postharvest treatment to eradicate the insect, at any stage, during storage and marketing of potato becomes essential to achieve a product free of the insect that prevents its Citation: Lobo, M.G.; González- dissemination while maintaining the quality during its commercialization.
