Extract

Within the past few years, two species of mealybugs have become serious pests of apple in North America. In Virginia, for some apparently unknown reason, the Japanese Comstock mealybug. Pseudococcus comstocki Kuwana, has undergone a change in its feeding habits and produced a strain that has become well adapted to feeding and reproducing on apple.
