Abstract
El control biológico es tradicional en Cuba y su integración al manejo de plagas ocurrió durante los años ochenta, con mayor auge desde principios de los noventa, favorecido por la suspensión del suministro externo de plaguicidas, tecnologías y combustibles para su aplicación, entre
otros factores relacionados con el período especial de la economía del país. Se han generado tecnologías para la producción masiva de agentes de control biológico, que se utilizan en diversos
cultivos de importancia económica, lográndose anualmente su liberación y aplicación en más de
1,7 millones de hectáreas. La actuación de manera estable, desde 1973-74, de una red de Estaciones Territoriales de Protección de Plantas (ETPP) en las principales regiones agrícolas del país, ha
contribuido a consolidar un sistema territorial de manejo de plagas integrado a la producción
agropecuaria, con un alto potencial para contribuir a la soberanía tecnológica y alimentaria de
los pueblos y ciudades del país.
Summary: The biological control is traditional in Cuba and its integration to the pest management happened during the eighties decade, with a higher peak from principles of the ninety, favored by the suspension of the external supply of pesticides, technologies and fuels for its application, among other factors related to the called “special period” of the economy of the country. Technologies have been generated for the massive production of biological control agents that are used in diverse crops of economic importance, being achieved their annual liberation and application in more than 1,7 million hectares. The performance in a stable way, from 1973-74, of a net of Territorial Stations of Plant Protection (ETPP) in the main agricultural regions of the country, has contributed to consolidate a territorial system of integrated pest management to the agricultural production, with a high potential to contribute to the technological and feeding sovereignty of people and cities of the country.
