Abstract
All agricultural workers must know the main pest that affect their crops to prevent their attacks or take appropriate action as soon as they appear. The objective of this work was to know the perception of the agricultural workers of the “La Rosita” farm on the incidence of pest mites and their control. For this, a semi-structured survey was applied. The data were processed using Microsoft Excel© 2016 electronics spreadsheets and were analyzed through descriptive statistics, determining the frequencies of appearance of the responses. It was found that 80 % of those surveyed are aware of pest mites, with a higher presence of Polyphagotersonemos latus and Tetranychus tumidus in peppers, tomatoes and beans, although between 10 and 20 % found these pests in cabbage, corn and onion that shows little knowledge in relation to its identification. The 80 % of agricultural workers choose chemicals using sulfur, dicofol and Mitigan CE 18.5 more frequently. The 20 % of agricultural workers are aware of some plant extracts that are used and 100 % are unaware of the biological controls that can be used, including predatory mites. This infers that this topic constitutes one of the main training needs for agricultural workers on the farm
