| dc.description | Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is crucial to Ecuador's economy, but it faces serious phytosanitary threats such as Moniliasis, caused by the fungus Moniliophthora roreri, which can devastate up to 80% of production. Controlling this disease is vital for the sustainability of the crop and the well-being of cocoa-growing communities. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the use, function, efficacy and impacts of the fungicide mancozeb for the prevention of monilla (Moniliophthora roreri) in cocoa crops (T. cacao L.) in Ecuador. Mancozeb, a broad-spectrum fungicide, has been shown to be effective in preventing moniliasis, creating a protective barrier against the fungus. Its use can reduce the incidence of the disease by 70%, protecting cocoa yield and quality and strengthening competitiveness. Despite its benefits, the use of mancozeb raises questions about its long-term effectiveness and its environmental and human health impact. It is an endocrine disruptor and potentially carcinogenic that can affect reproduction and cause other health problems. In addition, moniliasis control methods include cultural, biological and chemical techniques, where mancozeb plays a crucial role. It is important to carry out detailed studies on the optimal dosage and frequency of application of mancozeb fungicide, as well as its impact on biodiversity since prolonged exposure can have serious consequences for health and wildlife, highlighting the need to manage its use with caution. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El cacao (Theobroma cacao) es crucial para la economía de Ecuador, pero enfrenta serias amenazas fitosanitarias como la Moniliasis, causada por el hongo Moniliophthora roreri, que puede devastar hasta el 80% de la producción. El control de esta enfermedad es vital para la sostenibilidad del cultivo y el bienestar de las comunidades cacaoteras con el objetivo de describir y analizar la utilización, función eficacia e impactos del fungicida mancozeb para prevención de monilla (Moniliophthora roreri) en cultivos de cacao (T. cacao L.) en Ecuador El mancozeb, un fungicida de amplio espectro, ha demostrado ser eficaz en la prevención de la moniliasis, creando una barrera protectora contra el hongo. Su uso puede reducir la incidencia de la enfermedad en un 70%, protegiendo el rendimiento y la calidad del cacao y fortaleciendo la competitividad. A pesar de sus beneficios, el uso del mancozeb plantea interrogantes sobre su efectividad a largo plazo y su impacto ambiental y en la salud humana. Es un disruptor endocrino y potencialmente carcinógeno que puede afectar la reproducción y causar otros problemas de salud. Además, los métodos de control de la moniliasis incluyen técnicas culturales, biológicas y químicas, donde el mancozeb juega un papel crucial. Es importante llevar a cabo estudios detallados sobre la dosis y frecuencia óptima de aplicación del fungicida mancozeb, así como su impacto en la biodiversidad ya que la exposición prolongada puede tener consecuencias graves para la salud y la vida silvestre, resaltando la necesidad de manejar su uso con precaución. | es_ES |
