EVALUACIÓN DE SOLUCIONES HOMEOPÁTICAS PARA CONTROLAR Neoleucinodes elegantalis guenée (Lepidóptera: Crambidae) EN CULTIVO DE LULO.

This research was conducted with the objective of evaluating a strategy agroecological management of fruit borer Neoleucinodes elegantalis. Homeopathic treatments were evaluated three CH4, CH7 and CH14, using the principle of isopathy. Bioassays weretested the three homeopathic solutions, the treatments CH4, CH7 presented a lower number of eggs and larvae per fruit, which showed statistically significant differences versus water control according to Duncan's test. For variable rate hatching of eggs showed no statistical differences between treatments. then in the field, compared homeopathic solution (CH4) with a absolute control. The results of this trial indicated that was presented fewer damaged fruits per plant using CH4, presenting significant differences with the control from the third tothe seventh evaluation.In the variable percentage of fruit losses caused by the pest were statistical differences from the third evaluation for the solution CH4 showing the least damage.Thisstudy allowed to recognize the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies Neoleucinodes elegantalis control, as well as base projectsfor agro-ecological studies and subsequent homeopathic management integrated pest management.
