Summary: A causa de la creciente extension de las areas cultivadas con yuca en los paises tropicales, el mantenimiento del equilibrio biologico mediante tecnicas adecuadas de control integrado se hace imperativo, como tambien la recoleccion de datos sobre resistencia var., control biologico y practicas culturales. Se presenta informacion basica para el control integrado de plagas. Se describen los artropodos que atacan a la yuca en relacion con perdidas que causan en los rendimientos, biologia, morfologia y ecologia. Se discuten criterios para el establecimiento de un programa de control en resistencia var. y se describen las tecnicas para la evaluacion de germoplasma y los avances en la resistencia var. a los acaros e insectos. Se discute detalladamente el control biologico: agentes beneficos y su utilizacion, estudios poblacionales, identificacion y manejo de hiperparasitos. Se presenta un marco conceptual y recomendaciones para el control de las plagas de importancia economica. Se incluyen las tecnicas de cria masal y los metodos para la recoleccion, manipulacion y establecimiento de los agentes beneficos. (CIAT)Summary: Due to the increasing extension of areas planted to cassava in tropical countries, the maintenance of biological equilibrium through adequate integrated control techniques becomes imperative as well as the collection of data on var. resistance, biological control, and cultural practices. Basic information for integrated pest control is given. Arthropods attacking cassava are described regarding yield losses, biology, morphology, and ecology. Criteria for the establishment of a control program on var. resistance are discussed and techniques for germplasm evaluation and new developments on var. resistance to mites and insects are described. Biological control is discussed in detail: beneficial agents and their use, population studies, identification and management of hyperparasites. A conceptual framework is provided and recommendations are given for the control of economically important pests. Mass rearing techniques and methods for the collection, handling, and establishment of beneficial agents are included. (CIAT)
