Eficacia del ácido oxálico por aspersión en el control de la varroasis de las abejas en un apiario experimental
Main Article Content
Abstract
El uso de químicos de síntesis en el control de la varroasis de las abejas trajo como consecuencia la aparición de residuos en las mieles y los distintos productos apícolas (Imdorf et al., 1997). Por esta razón, y con el objetivo de abaratar los costos por tratamiento, se buscaron soluciones alternativas que resolvieran el nivel de infestación y no dejaran residuos en los derivados apícolas. Dentro de estas soluciones se encuentra el ácido oxálico, un ácido orgánico que mostró buena eficacia contra la plaga y bajo nivel de toxicidad. Con el objetivo de probar el ácido oxálico en nuestras condiciones se realizó este trabajo.
