Conteúdo: 	Research on mites and insects that attack cassava has shown that they are factors that limit yield. Furthermore, the decrease the incidence of ipidemics and epiphytotics. The mite Tetranychus urticae, crickets, termites, leaf-cutter ants, grubs cutworms and the scale insect A. albus are considered as universal pests of cassava since they are found in almost all cassava-growing areas. Insects that attack cassava over a prolonged period cause more damage than those that attack the plnat only at certain times. The degree of damage depends on various factors; but under conditions at CIAT, it was greatest from the 2nd-6th mo of growth. Insects that attack cassava can be divided into 3 categories: (1) those that attack vegetative planting material (fruit flies, stemboresrs, scale insects, grubs and cutworms); (2) those that attack the growing plant; foliage consumers, sap-sucking pests, leaf deformers, and bud and stem borers; and (3) those that attack stored cassava planting material and dried products (more than 38 insects, mostly Coleoptera). The status of entomological research on cassava is indicated an the areas where further research is recommended are givem. The factors that should be taken into account when establishing a pest management program are presented. Biological control and host plant resistance are described in detail because of their vital importance control programs that should also include the careful selection of planting material, use of sound cultural practicies, resistant varieties as well as...
