Biological alternatives for the management of Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), in Coffea arabica L, Jalapa, Nicaragua. Siembra [online]. 2023, vol.10, n.2, 5306.

The objective of this study was to evaluate biological alternatives for the management of coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari), on individuals inside brocaded fruits, its effect on the total yield (kg ha-1), economic feasibility of each treatment evaluated. through a partial budget analysis, dominance analysis and marginal rate of return in Jalapa, Nicaragua. A quantitative, applied study was carried out, with a Randomized Complete Block experimental design (BCA), with six treatments and four repetitions, three biological products, one chemical, a combination of chemical-cultural management (trap) and an absolute control, whose variables were subjected to an analysis of variance and separation of means by Tukey test (0.05). It was determined that there was no significant effect of the treatments on the borer control, the pest’s affectation increases the fruit develops, causing losses between 20 and 78 % throughout the cycle. The economic analysis showed that all treatments are profitable, having a high marginal rate of return, The Curador® treatment is the one with the highest net benefit, followed by trap plus Curador® and Bea Blue®, constituting alternatives for the biological management of the borer.
