Abstract

The objective of this work is to determine the distribution of the fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Weidemann 1824 and Anastrepha) in the department of Meta, identifying the hosts and the areas with the highest frequency of appearance. Monitoring allows the identification of the most common genus of fruit flies in the areas and allows preventive measures to be taken to avoid the spread of Ceratitis capitata (Weidemann 1824) to areas of agricultural importance such as Lejanías, Granada and other nearby sites. The work of educommunication (process of construction of knowledge and learning through the dialogue of knowledge) is carried out through the taking of samples of fruits not suitable for consumption and making the population of merchants aware of the final disposal of products from cold climates such as: peaches, apples, pears, among others, in 4 or 5 caliber bags. The route with the most capture of Ceratitis capitata is the one that corresponds to the Villavicencio supply center, due to the high mobility and commercialization, on the route belonging to Lejanías and Guamal, flies of the genus are normally captured Anastrepha. In the presence of a fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata Weidemann 1824), the installation of Success toxic baits in places near the trap is taken as a measure, to contain the dispersion of said pest.
