CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF PHYTOSANITARY PROBLEMS IN THE GROWING OF COFFEE IN SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, MEXICO
Abstract
Coffee is one of the most important crops in Mexico. Its main entomological problem is
Hypothenemushampei (Ferriari) also known as Coffee Berry Borer. Its first registration in the
Huastecapotosina, considered the boreal limit of the country's coffee-growing region, was registered
in 1998. During this period, state and municipal entities and the communities themselves
implemented actions to combat the pest. However, the pest had an exponential growth, registering
in the year 2000, 420 ha affected, with infestations of 2.4%; and in 2005, 1536 were affected, with
infestations of 8.6%. This increase in infested areas is due to environmental, economic, political and
social factors. Under this context, this analysis focuses on finding the causes and consequences of
this phytosanitary problem in the coffee growing region of San Luis Potosí, as well as demonstrating
that there are geographic methodologies for the better management and control of this pest.
