Oil palm is a relatively new crop in Central and South America, which was commercially established in the sixties. At present the total planted area is 350,000 ha, and the largest are the following: Colombia, 126,000 ha; Ecuador, 95,000 ha; Brazil, 39,000 ha; Venezuela, 14,000 ha; and Central America; 76,000 ha. Economically significant pests and diseases are common to the crop in Central and South America. The most important are Bud Rot (PC), Red Ring, Marchitez sorpresive and pestalotiopsis. Among insect pests the following must be mentioned: stem borrers such as Strategus oleus L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), and some leaf eaters and succkers which may induce Pestalotiopsis and cause damage to oil palm fronds. Mites also represent a serious economic problem in Colombia. This article presents the characteristics of the main pests and diseases affecting the crop, which could spread to other continents. [Authors' abstract].
