Polyculture system of host plants of lepidoptera commercial open field conditions in the Area Of Satipo

Abstract

The research was conducted in the Satipo in order to assess the plant Passifl ora edulis polyculture , Heliconia sp. Piper angustifola and Brumfelsia grandifl ora as host of butterflies. Regarding the growth characteristics passionfruit Passiflora edulis , best shows features of plant length and number of leaves . The average length of leaves for the passion fruit was 13,65 cm and leaf width is 14,2 cm. The average length of passion fruit plants was 4,07 m and the average number of leaves was 163,5. There is statistically significant difference in length and width of leaf blade area for Pangoa and Rio Negro. Dione juno full development cycle to 32,8 days, the egg hatches at 5,2 days, larval stages lasting a total of 17,4 days, the prepupa and pupa 2,4 days 7,8 days . Papilio thoas complete their development cycle to 44,8 days, the egg hatches at 4,4 days, larval stages lasting a total of 19,2 days , the prepupa and
pupa 2,4 days 18,8 days. Butterfly chirizanango complete their development cycle to 30,6 days, the egg hatches at 6,2 days, larval stages lasting a total of 16,8 days, the prepupa and pupa 1,4 days 6,2 days. The increase in larval Dione juno to the first 8 months , has grown exponentially since 63-268 larvae in an area of 10 m2 , this implies a yield of 45.1 larvae/m2 or 451 000 larvae / ha , is a high performance, given that the price per unit of the butterfly on the market has an average of $ 0,50 for a total of U.S. $ 225 500 in excess coffee and coca. It is recommended to implement breeding programs for butterflies in passion fruit producer in the area.
