 harvest time

 pests
strawberry mite (Phytonemus pallidus)

Adults are bright pinkish in color and cannot be

seen with the naked eye. They have been found at
the apex of the leaves in formation in the crown
where there has been high humidity. They have
mainly affected the floral clusters in formation,
and the fruits have taken on a coppery brown
color and have not developed normally, becoming
hard.
 sacho or white worm (Anomala sp .y Bothynus sp.)

They are creamy-colored larvae of

beetles with brown heads that live
beneath the soil and feed on the
roots entirely until the plant dies.
These larvae are more destructive
than other pests because they
consume the roots completely. Of
all the soil-dwelling pests, they are
the most harmful to plants.
 Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips tabaci)

They are thin and very small

insects, less than 1 mm in
size. The flowers are damaged
by their stylets, causing harm
to the pistils, which are
deformed as a reaction to
their toxic saliva.
 red spider (Tetranychus urticae Koch)

This mite, with a globose and bright

orange body in its adult stage, is
one of the most widespread and
troublesome pests in strawberry
cultivation. It winters on other
plants or old strawberry leaves to
attack the tender young leaves with
the arrival of warmer weather and
the decrease in humidity.
 HOW MUCH
PER HECTARE
IN
HUAU
On average, 43.61 tons per
RA
hectare will be produced.
 Export point

According to size, strawberries are

classified into extra, first, second,
and/or third grades, solely based on
the selector's criteria. The majority
of strawberries are marketed by
wholesale traders who have their
own transport to collect the harvest
from small farmers. The marketing is
done in crates weighing 6 to 8
kilograms, depending on the sub-
classification.
 REAL PRICE OR
DEMAND

In the market, it will be sold at

a price of S/8 per kg.
