MONTES-RODRIGUEZ, José Mauricio e OSSA-YEPES, Juan Felipe. Sampling methods of symphylids in pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) crops in Santander, Colombia. Agron. colomb. [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.2, pp.208-215. Epub 08-Fev-2022. ISSN 0120-9965. https://doi.org/10.15446/agron.colomb.v39n2.93587.
In the pineapple growing region of Lebrija, Santander, one of the largest such regions in Colombia, five farms were selected, and a sampling of symphylids associated with this crop was carried out in the first months of cultivation in the variety Perolera and hybrid MD2. Two collecting methods were compared: i) the destructive method, with soil inspection around the roots, and ii) the bait-trap method with pieces of potato mixed with soil. These two methods were implemented in the same plots during five bimonthly samplings. Additionally, the percentage of root damage was estimated, defined as the percentage of roots that show bifurcation due to the damage caused by symphylids. All symphylids were identified as Hanseniella sp. Sampling of symphylids based on underground potato bait traps requires fewer samples to estimate population density and is a predictor of root damage while destructive sampling is not. Consequently, trap sampling could be a useful tool for monitoring and managing symphylids on pineapple. The abundance was related to soil moisture, and not to soil pH.
