CONTROL OF SAGALASSA VALIDATES IN OIL PALM PLANTATIONS, IN THE
MUNICIPALITY OF TUMACO
summary
The sweeper of the palm roots (sagalassa validates Walker) has been one of the
the pacific region, where oil palm plantations exceed more than 20 thousand
hectares, which are the basis of the economy and generation of direct and indirect
The damage is caused by the lepidopter larvae, as sweeper of the radical system
of a young or adult palm, can be distributed and located at any distance and depth
reached by the primary roots of the system (Aldana et al., 2000). In its first two
instares the larva destroys quaternary and tertiary roots and as it progresses its
development passes to the secondary and primary, in which its damage is most
This causes delay and reduction up to 70% in the production, yellowing and
upward drying of the foliar system as well as loss of anchorage and loss of the
entire root system therefore a slow growth of the plant, as well as decrease in the
weight and size of the clusters, problem that in the palm plantations of Tumaco
every day is worsening and the pest has been distributed in the different
introduction
In Colombia oil palm plantations (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) covers about 118,000
ha, of which some 13,000 are in the Western Zone, located in the municipality of
One of the most common phytosanitary problems in the palm pacific region is the
presence of the Sagalassa validates Walker pest, known as a palm root sweeper
of plants
The stem sweeper is reported in all palm plantations throughout Latin America, in
Colombia where it causes more damage economically, is in the south western and
peaceful region, young plants have a yellowish coloration in their leaves, decrease
in growth and little or no production due to the damage caused in its roots, which is
why the plant is limited to the absorption of water and nutrients essential for the
production of necessary food for all the plant's chemical and biological physical
processes.
Therefore, it is important to search for practices and mechanisms for the control of
this pest that represents economic damage of great importance such as good
methodology:
The study was carried out at Plantación Astorga S.A.S, located in the Municipality
of San Andrés de Tumaco vereda Tangareal, a company with more than 25 years
of experience where there are more than 2500 hectares of oil palm plantation,
The damage is caused by the larvae in their early ins and outs to the radical
system of young or adult plantations, the damage initiates in the quaternary roots,
then passed to the tertiary and secondary ones to finally reach the primaries where
the damage is most visible. It can also be accompanied by rots caused by fungi
and bacteria that take advantage of the root sore for entry, added to this
sometimes in young plantations you can observe poor anchorage which produces
We can also observe yellowing in its leaves and drying of new buds and shoots,
In the search for good integrated management of MIP pests, Astorga S.A.S, has
nematodes and field trials and evolution of active chemical synthesis ingredients
We can also observe that you know of fungi like Metarrhizum sp and Bauveria sp
make a goodcontrol infecting larvae and pupae, on the other hand there are natural
with arvenses that can help us monitor the pest, attractive plants such as verbena,
in addition to this soil moisture can also be a factor that does not help control the
pest and finally chemical control with insecticides of different active ingredients
Conclusions
control has become one of the most economical and sustainable practices
the management of sagalassa validates, ranges from knowing the life cycle
