Thrips Population and Climate Data for Yellow Passion Fruit in Huila, Colombia (2022-2024)

Field monitoring data from 2022 to 2024 in a commercial orchard in Suaza, Huila, Colombia. The study recorded thrips populations, climate variables, insecticide efficacy, and economic costs to develop an integrated pest management strategy for export compliance. The dataset was authored by Sonia Jimena Rodríguez Montes and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling thrips population dynamics based on climate variables like temperature and rainfall mentioned in the description.
• Assessing insecticide efficacy and environmental impact based on the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) data.
• Analyzing the economic costs of pest management strategies during different crop stages.
• Evaluating compliance with European Union maximum residue limits (EU MRLs) for export crops.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific time range from 2022 to 2024.
• Includes multiple data facets: pest counts, climate variables, economic analysis, and residue compliance checks.
• Field monitoring was conducted using a standardized method across 54 sampling points.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 33.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
