Conteúdo: 	Cassava is attacked by a wide range of arthropod pests; approximately 200 species have been recorded throughout the cassava growing regions of the world. Cassava is a New World crop, its geographic origin being the lowland tropics of the Americas. As might be expected, the largest complex of pests associated with the crop is found in the Neotropics. Although most are occasional feeders or minor pests, causing little or no economic loss, several of them must be classified as major pests, warranting the implementation of effective control practicies. Extensive and systematic research on cassava pests is relatively recent. The CIAT Cassava Entomology program was initiated in 1972 and most other national and international research programs in cassava entomology were initiated after that date. Many initial studies attempted to define the pest complex by addressing the question of which pests were causing the greatest yield losses and therefore required extensive efforts in the development of control strategies.
