Conservación de Loricaria illinissae a través del estudio de la entomofauna asociada, en la Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chimborazo.

Abstract

The present research to maintain the Loricaria illinissae througth the study of entomofauna associated in the wildlife Chimborazo production reserve, base don the needs information generation about enviromental problems (pathologies) that affects to the flora in the botanical species Loricaria illinissae, the classification of entomofauna associated to Loricaria illinissae and finally step conservation strategies to Loricaria illinissae. The species mentioned has an importance value index of 19,78 this means without this species the ecosystem of the entomofauna associated with Loricaria illinissae, determined that the entomological species (cochineal) belonging to the Coccidos exist in larger population and that the involvement of Loricaria illinissae is directly proportional to this insect, a denominated pathology detected, which caused by a fungus belonging to the genus Capnobotrys. The development of conservation strategies base don the results obtained in the previous objectives raised as a strategy of a comprehensive conservation plan which consists of biological control and the use of biodegradable products for the elimination of identifying pathology attaking directiy the cause of the proliferation of thhe sooty pathology. The program has three prejects thy will directly attack the insect (ME1) or cochinilla. It is important that this type of studies will be maintained and give continuity since it requires the generation of more information from the academy to archieve combat the ecosystematic alterations and conserves species of great value for the balance of the environment in the Reserve of production wildlife Chimborazo.
