Abstract
ONE of the main problems related to cotton production in the irrigated valleys of the northern coastal part of Peru is connected with damage to the crop produced by the cotton stainer (Dysdercus ruficollis, L.), which in some years causes a loss of many million soles (1 sol = 1s. 1¾d. nominal value). The cotton crops of the valleys of Pativilca, Supe, Huarmey, Casma, Santa and Piura-Chira are the most affected annually by the “Arrebiatado” insect.
