| description | The objective of this study was to identify the native fauna species that affect crops in the Valle de Tenza, and to test four non—letha| treatments to protect corn crops. The identification was carried out during five months of the year 2014. 150 suweys were applied to farmers from five municipalities in Valle de Tenza, following the ”snow ball" method; additionally, 10 Tomahawk traps, 30 Sherman traps, and five digital tracking cameras were used. The test for crop protection was carried out by applying four treatments based on some repellents, in the municipality La Capilla, from October 2014 to lanuary 2015, before and after harvesting the corn. A completely randomized treatment design was applied, and the damage was evaluated by analysis of variance and contrast of medians between treatments.The interviews indicated that 11 species affect the crops, specially Sciurus granatensis and Didelphis marsupiales. There are significant differences (P<0.01) between the total amount of damaged and healthy corn, regardless the type of treatment used. Nevenheless, no differences were found between treatments (P > 0.05). |

El trabajo tuvo como objetivos identificar las especies de fauna silvestre que afectan los cultivos en el Valle de Tenza y probar cuatro tratamientos no letales para proteger los cultivos de maíz. La identificación se efectuó durante cinco meses del año 2014. Se aplicaron 150 encuestas a campesinos de cinco municipios del Valle de Tenza por el método de bola de nieve, y se utilizaron 10 trampas Tomahawk y 30 Sherman, y cinco cámaras digitales de rastreo. La prueba de protección de los cultivos se efectuó por medio de la aplicación de cuatro tratamientos a base de repelentes, en el municipio de La Capilla, durante los meses de octubre de 2014 a enero de 2015, antes y durante la cosecha de maíz. Se aplicó un diseño completamente aleatorizado de los tratamientos y se evaluó el daño por análisis de varianza y contraste de medianas entre tratamientos.Las entrevistas indicaron que 11 especies afectan los cultivos, principalmente ardillas (Sciurus granatensis) y faras (Didelphis marsupiales). Existen diferencias altamente significativas (P<0,01) entre la cantidad total de maíz dañado y sano, sin importar el tipo de tratamiento; sin embargo, no se encontró diferencia entre tratamientos (P>0,05).
