Abstract

Mealybugs cause mechanical damage and diseases to plants. Through their feeding activities, they reduce the yield, quality and productivity of crops. This review discusses mealybug vectors of plant viruses, the economic losses they cause, mealybug species and their hosts. Among the numerous mealybug species, Planococcus species are the most effective vector of plant viruses, transmitting many Ampeloviruses. Diverse methods for the control and regulation of mealybugs are also discussed. Physical, cultural and biological control methods are labor-intensive but environmentally friendly compared to chemical methods. However, chlorpyrifos are one the active ingredients of insecticides effective against several mealybug species. Using plant products such as neem oil as a biocontrol method has been effective, similar to other insecticides. Notwithstanding, the biological method of controlling mealybugs is effectively slow but safe and highly recommended. The Anagyrus species have the highest success rate amongst other natural parasites of mealybugs. Also, farm sanitation and pruning as cultural methods help reduce mealybug populations.

粉蚧媒介:植物病毒传播及其管理策略综述

粉蚧对植物造成机械损伤和病害。通过它们的取食活动，它们降低了作物的产量、质量和生产力。本文综述了植物病毒的粉蚧载体、造成的经济损失、粉蚧种类及其寄主。在众多粉蚧种类中，扁球菌是最有效的植物病毒载体，可传播多种虫状病毒。还讨论了控制和调节粉蚧的各种方法。与化学方法相比，物理、文化和生物控制方法是劳动密集型的，但对环境友好。毒死蜱是对几种粉蚧有效的杀虫剂的有效成分之一。与其他杀虫剂类似，使用诸如印楝油之类的植物产品作为生物防治方法是有效的。尽管如此，控制粉蚧的生物方法是有效的，缓慢的，但安全的，强烈推荐。在其他天然粉蚧寄生虫中，Anagyrus物种的成功率最高。此外，农场卫生和修剪作为栽培方法有助于减少粉蚧的数量。
