Article Description

Oaxaca is one of the three main producing states of jamaica sorrel or roselle, Hibiscus sabdariffa L., of Mexico. This crop is affected by various pests such as pseudococcids. In 2022, the mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis was detected causing damage in an experimental plot. The damage it causes to plants is wilting, drying, and defoliation of some terminal apices of the branches. Infestation levels ranged from 14 to 86%.
