Abstract
Note on Profiles:
The following profiles are of the most common pests of the main crops grown in the Dominican Republic--avocado, citrus, coconut, mango, banana, plantain, pineapple, tomato, potato, cabbage, tobacco, pepper, garlic, onion, rice, beans, papaya, and melon. Many of these insects attack other crops not listed in this guide.
The intent of this guide is to help identify pest characteristics and environmentally friendly ways to control them (integrated pest management).
Chemical controls should always be the last resort. Try to conserve biodiversity and continue to monitor before turning to chemicals. Always consult local extension office for pesticide usage, and always read and follow label.
