Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine the incidence of insect pests in vegetable and fruit crops in the area of Butare, Colina Municipality, Falcon State. For the design of the research and for the establishment of the plantations, two portions of land of 1000 m2 each were chosen, one in the vegetable area and the other in the fruit plot. Planting began with the vegetable seedbed with a planting distance of 0.70 m between rows and 0.25 m between plants, fruit 1.50 m between rows and 0.30 m between plants, irrigation was by drip irrigation and fertilization by fertigation. It is concluded that under Butare conditions the vegetable and fruit crops are affected by the whitefly (B. tabaci), the leaf pinworm (Liromyza sativae), the Thrips (Thrips palmi) and the codling moth (Spodoptera eridania).
