MENDOZA, Cristhian et al. Diagnostic and management strategies for the root borer (Sagalassa valid "Walker") in OxG oil palm hybrids. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.23, pp.622-631.  Epub 02-Mayo-2024. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v8i23.290.

The pest Sagalassa valida, known as the palm root borer, represents one of these critical challenges, especially affecting young crops less than 4 years old and severely damaging the root system of the plants. With the objective of delving into aspects of the diagnosis and management of the control of the root borer (Sagalassa valida “Walker”) in OxG hybrids of Elaeis guineensis. The methodology used with an inductive approach that was mainly nourished by sources from recognized academic platforms such as Science Direct and Springer, Scielo, Scopus and Redalyc with the use of the Google Scholar tool, for which studies published between the years 2000 and 2024 were selected. as a time frame of reference. The selection of literature was governed by a criterion of relevance, prioritizing those studies that provided a deeper understanding of the interrelationship of diagnosis and management strategies of the root borer (Sagalassa valida “Walker”) in OxG hybrids of Elaeis guineensis within the main management alternatives for control are the use of ants, fundamentally E. ruidum could be the predator, use of nematodes, leaf rachis, parts of the plant, management of rainfall and irrigation, other work in Ecuador refers to toxicological monitoring and They have been used with 100% effectiveness using the Benfurol product with a duration of 30 days, applied either in immersion baths or in drench and Engeo between 97-100% effectiveness. It is concluded that the diagnosis and control of valid Sagalassa “Walker” in specific OxG hybrids allows establishing management practices according to their needs, which contribute to reducing the use of chemical pesticides and minimizing their impact on the environment, promoting sustainable agriculture.
