The present study was conducted in the fields of the Chavimochic irrigation, located in La Libertad Region-Peru. Prodiplosis longifila Gagné (Diptera Cecidomyiidae) is considered the key pest of asparagus and other vegetables cultivation. This study aimed to characterize the presence of this insect pest in asparagus crop under drip irrigation conditions, in order to find the best alternatives for its control. The cultivar most planted in the Chavimochic Irrigation is cultivar UC 157 and that the meteorological conditions of the area are optimal for the production of asparagus; but also for the establishment and reproduction of the insect. The morphology of asparagus is favorable for reproduction of the insect, from larva to adult, since it frequently bracts and flowers at larval stage and establishs itself at the adult stage; at the base of the plant. All experiments conducted, had at l...

The quality of cotton fiber determines its value in the textile market, influencing agricultural profitability and the efficiency of textile processing. The selection of genotypes with superior fibers is a key factor for genetic improvement programs seeking adaptability and sustainability in the face of climate change. This demonstrates the strategic importance of this plant for sustainable agriculture and the global textile industry. The objective of this research was to decipher the fiber quality of Gossypium barbadense var. brasiliensis in the native Amazonian communities of La Convencion, Cusco-Peru, and to evaluate other critical aspects of native cotton that have not yet been identified. The methodology included non-probability sampling for accessibility, qualitative and quantitative analyses, and multivariate analyses. The fiber length (mm), micronaire index (maturity/fineness), f...
