Abstract

Cotton agroecosystems are under serious threat from the cotton mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis). This study examines the host plants, prevalence, damage capacity, and control practices of P. solenopsis infestations in the area. Based on data of field surveys and literature reviews, we study the biology, ecology, and resistance of the insecticide P. solenopsis, and the effects of invasive mealybug species on agricultural crops. In addition, the life history traits and development of P. solenopsis on different host plants are discussed, presenting the importance of integrated pest management (IPM) approaches. The research highlights the critical role of monitoring techniques like migrant traps and quantitative sampling in forecasting and controlling infestations of P. solenopsis. Through amalgamation of results from different sources, this research adds to our knowledge on the dynamics of P. solenopsis populations and provides directions on sustainable pest management in cotton agroecosystems.
