Abstract

A field survey of conditions in four main pineapple-growing districts of Puerto Rico revealed a mealybug infestation of 87.1 percent among pineapple plants ranging from 9 months to about 2 years of age. The infestation in individual fields varied from 66.7 to 100 percent of the plants examined, and about as many plants were found infested with the mealybug on the inside of the fields as along the edges.
