Known internationally as Passion fruit, one of the main export fruits from Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil. It is one of the crops that most requires applications for the control of pests and diseases. It requires weekly applications for sucking insects such as Thrips, which can cause problems in flowering. It also requires frequent applications of fungicides in areas of high RH% relative humidity to avoid the appearance of pathogens such asBotrytis and Anthracnose.
However, currently it is possible to implement a totally sustainable and environmentally friendly agronomic management plan. It is important to keep in mind that for export there is a list of restricted agricultural inputs so the management plan must be integral. Biological, organic, mineral and cultural methods are the most used by producers for international markets.
