A Review on Papaya Mealybug Identification and Management Through Plant Essential Oils [PDF]
Environmental Entomology, 2021 AbstractPapaya (Carica papaya L.) production suffers from a multitude of abiotic and biotic constraints, among those are insect pests, diseases, and environmental conditions. One of the seriously damaging pests of papaya is invasive papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, which can inflict heavy yield loss if not contained. Little information on papaya

Sustainable management of the vine mealybug in organic vineyards [PDF]
Journal of Pest Science, 2020 AbstractThe vine mealybug (VMB),Planococcus ficus, is a major grapevine pest worldwide, whose chemical control is often unsatisfactory due to its cryptic behavior, insecticide resistance and high fecundity rate. Recently, increasing restrictions have been applied to insecticides used for managing VMB.

Gene-specific double-stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciGene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Sampling program for grape mealybugs improves pest management [PDF]
California Agriculture, 2001 The results of a mealybug study in Central Valley vineyards, designed to develop sampling guidelines, reveal that mealybug distribution on vines varies greatly through the season and that mealybugs usually prefer concealed locations, such as under bark. This combination makes sampling difficult. A number of sampling techniques were compared.
