Abstract/Contents: | "Adhesive-covered 'sticky stakes' successfully captured mealybugs demonstrating their value as an efficient and non-destructive method for monitoring immature mealybug populations. In a no-choice study, white stakes captured significantly (F=2.57; df=9, 29; P < 0.0379) more immature mealybugs than red or blue stakes. A significant positive correlation between visual mealybug infestation ratings and stake counts indicated the accuracy of this monitoring approach. In a choice study, green stakes captured significantly (F=3.30; df=8, 12; P < 0.0220) more mealybugs than red or blue stakes. Numbers of captured mealybugs dramatically fluctuated during the study. Natural peaks and declines of immatures between mealybug generations, and the presence of hymenopterous parasitoids which may have influenced mealybug population dynamics, were cited as possible explanations." |
