DESCRIPTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF GALLS CAUSED BY INSECTS AND MITES IN FLORA SPONTANEOUS AND CULTIVATED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE VALLEY
Main Article Content
Galls caused by insects and mites found both in wild and cultivated plants in 13 localities of the Departamento del Valle (Colombia) were studied. Sixty-four plant species, including ten cultivated, belonging to 34 families and 46 genera, were found affected with galls. Families that presented the greatest number of species with galls were: Melastomataceae, Compositae, and Lauraceae with 6 species each and Mimosaceae and Rubiaceae with 3 species each. The malformations were caused in the same proportion by mites especially the trophies, and by insects. Plant organs in which galls were detected are: leaves (72 percent of host plants), stems (25 percent), roots, and fruits (1.5 percent respectively).
