HERNANDEZ-GUANCHE, Lisandra et al. Beneficial entomofauna in the tree diversity of urban agriculture in Pinar del Río, Cuba. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.5, pp.120-125.  Epub 15-Set-2023. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v14i5.3404.

This work determines the beneficial entomofauna associated with tree species in urban agriculture scenarios of Pinar del Río, Cuba. Between September 2019 and March 2020, a floristic inventory of tree biodiversity was conducted and samples of bioregulators were collected. Twenty-three tree species were inventoried and 65% of them were represented by fruit trees. The greatest species richness was detected in the orders Diptera, Mesostigmata, Hymenoptera and Araneae. The most frequent bioregulators were Condylostylus sp., Ocyptamus costatus and Phytoseiulus sp.; while the tree species with the highest proportion of associated arthropods were Persea americana, Citrus limon, Morinda citrifolia and Psidium guajava. The results corroborate the need to promote tree strata as a reservoir of bioregulators and deepen the activity of these beneficial organisms as an alternative for pest management.
