Estudio de los mosquitos verdes (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) en el pimiento en invernadero del campo de Cartagena

Abstract

Se ha llevado a cabo un seguimiento poblacional e identificación de las especies de mosquitos verdes que afectan al cultivo de pimiento ecológico en invernadero en el Campo de Cartagena, concretamente en 2 invernaderos tipo capilla localizados en la zona limítrofe entre los términos municipales de San Pedro del Pinatar (Murcia) y Pilar de la Horadada (Alicante). En ambos invernaderos, ha habido un aumento tanto de larvas como de adultos a partir de la primera quincena de junio, y de haber continuado con los muestreos seguramente seguirían aumentando. Se han tomado muestras y se han identificado en laboratorio, y se ha podido determinar que los machos pertenecen a la especie Empoasca decipiens y las hembras a la tribu Empoascini.

It was carried out a population monitoring and identification of leafhoppers that affect the organic sweetpepper cultivation in greenhouse in the Campo de Cartagena, specifically in 2 chapel-type greenhouses located in the border area between the municipal districts of San Pedro del Pinatar (Murcia) and Pilar de la Horadada (Alicante). In both greenhouses, there has been an increase in both larvae and adults since the first half of June, and if they continued with the samplings they would surely have continued to increase. In both greenhouses, there has been an increase in both larvae and adults since the first half of June, and if they continued with the samplings, they would surely continue to increase. Samples have been taken and identified in the laboratory, and it has been determined that the males belong to the Empoasca decipiens species and the females belong to the Empoascini tribe.
