Abstract
This presentation discusses major pest and disease problems in the Andean Altiplano and their shifting incidence in connection with climate change. The specific focus is on the potato weevil and tuber moth. Results were collected through the placement of traps. Further research hopes to incorporate this data into a comprehensive strategy for combating pests in the midst of climate change.
