The fruit borer (Neoleucinodes elegantalis) is a key pest of Lulo (Solanum quitoense) agroecosystems in Colombia. The chemical control is the predominant tool against the insect, in some cases associated with behavioral and cultural practices such as implementation night yellow light traps and harvesting of fruits affected. This situation has led to increased production costs, poisoning workers and product contamination, resulting from the increase in the number of applications to combat the insect. Thus we review the literature about bioecology insect and control strategies that can be used to consolidate a program of integrated, allowing rational use of insecticides by using sustainable tools.
