Abstract
El cultivo de arándano se ha convertido en uno de los principales productos de agroexportación del Perú, ocupando un lugar destacado a nivel mundial. Sin embargo, su crecimiento productivo se ve afectado por diversas plagas y enfermedades que reducen el rendimiento y la calidad del fruto. Frente a esta situación, el Manejo Integrado de Plagas (MIP) se presenta como una alternativa eficiente y sostenible para proteger el cultivo. Este trabajo propone un manejo integrado de las principales plagas del arándano en el distrito de Santa María, provincia de Huaura, basado en la experiencia profesional desarrollada en el Fundo Don Pepe de la empresa Inka’s Berries SAC. Se identifican las plagas más importantes, como la mosca de la fruta, trips, cochinillas harinosas y ciertos lepidópteros, así como enfermedades frecuentes como Botrytis cinerea y Phytophthora cinnamomi. La propuesta de manejo incluye actividades de monitoreo permanente, definición de umbrales de acción y la aplicación combinada de métodos de control cultural, mecánico, biológico, etológico y químico, priorizando prácticas que reduzcan el impacto ambiental y el uso excesivo de plaguicidas. Además, se consideran las condiciones climáticas, el manejo del cultivo y las etapas fenológicas para una mejor toma de decisiones. Finalmente, el documento busca servir como guía práctica para los productores de arándano de la zona, contribuyendo a mejorar la sanidad del cultivo, mantener la productividad y asegurar frutos de calidad para el mercado nacional e internacional.
Blueberry cultivation has become one of Peru’s main agricultural export activities, reaching an important position worldwide. However, its production is affected by different pests and diseases that reduce yield and fruit quality. In this context, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is presented as an efficient and sustainable alternative to protect the crop. This work proposes an integrated management plan for the main blueberry pests in the district of Santa María, Huaura province, based on professional experience carried out at the Don Pepe farm of Inka’s Berries SAC. The most important pests are identified, such as fruit flies, thrips, mealybugs, and some lepidopteran insects, as well as common diseases like Botrytis cinerea and Phytophthora cinnamomi. The proposed management includes constant monitoring, definition of action thresholds, and the combined use of cultural, mechanical, biological, behavioral, and chemical control methods, giving priority to practices that reduce environmental impact and excessive pesticide use. Climate conditions, crop management, and phenological stages are also considered to improve decision-making. Finally, this document aims to serve as a practical guide for blueberry growers in the area, helping to improve crop health, maintain productivity, and ensure high-quality fruit for national and international markets.
