Abstract
In potato crop, (Solanum tuberosum L.) different insects are presented that constitute pests, among those that are the thrips. The thrips are very small insects, of soft body, elongated and they cause direct damages when feeding of the plants. There are several species that are efficient vectors of emergent viral diseases that of great importance worldwide. The objective of this work was to determine and identify the thrips species that affect potato crop. Sampling was carried out on the “Las Papas” of the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, to the San José de las Lajas, of the province of Mayabeque in the period from December 2022 to March 2023. The recollected thrips specimens were subjected to a conventional slide mounting technique and identified using taxonomic keys. The presence of Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was recorded in the flowers of the cultivars, which constitutes a new species for potato crop in Cuba. Its knowledge contributes to avoiding negative boundaries between host crops and in turn facilitates the design of a strategy for pest management.
