Hongos de importancia agrícola presentes en moscas de la fruta del valle de Ica, Perú

Abstract

The present work reports the fungi isolated from specimens of the fruit flies of the genus Ceratitis (Macleay) and Anastrepha (Schiner) come from Ica valley, Peru. Fungi isolated were the genus Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Mucor, Penicillium, Rhizoctonia, Rhizopus, Trichoderma, as well as yeasts and sterile micelios. Counting was made in plate and it shows ranks between 8×103 to 8×104 UFC/g for Ceratitis; and 7×103 to 7×104 UFC/g for Anastrepha. The IVI% (Importance Value Index) indicated that Cladosporium has the greater ecological (78,05%). The Similarity Index between both genuses of analyzed fruit fly was 0,5. Results confirm fungi presence in fruit flies, and its possible impact to agricultural as vector agents of fungal diseases to local cultures.
