• Resumen

  • Cocoa crops in San José del Fragua, Caquetá, present different problems that are the cause of low productivity that is attributed to pests and diseases, evidencing deficiencies in agronomic and phytosanitary practices. A study will address these difficulties, analyzing and systematizing management practices, as well as local knowledge about phytosanitary problems. It will focus on the Bocana Luna village, where diseases can reduce cocoa production by up to 80%. The need for technical assistance and the adoption of appropriate agronomic practices to improve cocoa productivity in the region is highlighted.
