“…2). Mani et al (2013) At severe infestation level of P. manihoti, the mealybugs were found in all parts of the plant viz., twigs, stem, and base of the leaves. Most of the time the occurrence was in terminal portion of the plant and caused stunted growth, distortion of leaves and bunchy top appearance which was evidenced by Supartha et al(2022).…”

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important tuber crop grown for food, feed and beverages. Because of its ability to grow on soil of low organic content and produce high yield, it is considered a food security crop in African countries. Now it became the industrial crop since it is raw material for the production of starch, energy and live stock feed. In Tamil Nadu, it is grown in Salem, Namakkal, Erode, Cuddalore, Dharmapuri and Kanyakumari districts, both in irrigated and rainfed condition. Recently , the major constraint in cassava production are mealybug damage. The invasive mealybug species, Phenococcus manihoti Matile-Ferrero (Pseudococcidae) was first reported from Salem district and its occurrence was found associated with other species of mealybug. The nymphs and adult of mealybugs were collected from farmer”s field in Namakkal, Salem and Tiruppur district and morphological characters were observed to identify the key characters of mealybug species. Among the specimens collected, the species identified with colour, wax coating and body filaments were Ferrisia virgata, Pseudococcus jackbeardsleyi and P. manihoti. P. manihotidifferentiated from the other species with its distinct symptom of distortion of leaves at tip (Bunchy top) and extensive honey dew secretion.

“…Other species of Pseudococcus genus, that have been confused by the relationship between morphological characters and are reported within COXI gene results of this study, correspond to P. maritimus and P. viburni. P. maritimus which are characterized by the presence of an oral rim tubular duct between the cerarii 15 and 16, and abundance of oral rim tubular ducts in the abdomen (19 to 35), features that differentiate it from P. viburni by be absents; meanwhile P. jackbeardsleyi lacks of the oral rim tubular duct between the cerarii 15 and 16 and has a lower number of oral rim tubular ducts in the abdomen (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). Also the number of discoidal pores in the edge of the eye to P. jackbeardsleyi is greater than seven, regarding previous species, which have from one to three of these pores [6,17,29].…”

“…Costa Rica is reported as a country where P. jackbeardsleyi has been identified. However there is not an updated record of this kind of mealybug, specifically on commercial plantations [6,29], as it exists in other countries in the Neotropical region, such as in Tamilnadu from India in papaya crops [15,24] and the Marfil Coast from Africa in cocoa crops (N'Guessan et al 2014).…”

Pseudococcus jackbeardsleyi is a native species of the Neotropical region. Currently there is not an updated record of these species of mealybug in Costa Rica. The aim of this study was to analyze female mealybugs from Siquirreña plantation, Siquirres, Province of Limón, describing the morphology of the insect through the traditional technique of light microscopy and also a molecular description by three universal genes (18S ribosomal, E.F-1α and COXI). The morphological description was made in the Center for Research on Microscopic structures (CIEMic, acronyms in Spanish), UCR on 2012 and the molecular analysis was done in the Molecular Phytopathology Laboratory ending on 2014. According to the obtained results, the insect was described by the presence of the oral rim tubular duct, which was corroborated by the technique of Scanning Electron Microscopy as defining characteristic that differentiates P. jackbeardsleyi from P. elisae. Likewise through phylogenetic trees from molecular results, it was observed that the species P. jackbeardsleyi reported in the GenBank (NCBI) showed no association with any of the sequences of the study; therefore this research presents the first record of P. jackbeardsleyi in Costa Rica.

“…In SE Asia, striped mealybug populations on cassava have increased sharply in recent years, and F. virgata is now thought to bring about occasional yield losses of between 20 and 80% . Pseudococcus jackbeardsleyi Gimpel & Miller, a major pest of several vegetable and tropical fruit crops, has been reported as an invader in SE Asia for a number of years, and is commonly found in local cassava crops …”

Cassava is a major staple, bio-energy and industrial crop in many parts of the developing world. In Southeast Asia, cassava is grown on >4 million ha by nearly 8 million (small-scale) farming households, under (climatic, biophysical) conditions that often prove unsuitable for many other crops. While SE Asian cassava has been virtually free of phytosanitary constraints for most of its history, a complex of invasive arthropod pests and plant diseases has recently come to affect local crops. We describe results from a region-wide monitoring effort in the 2014 dry season, covering 429 fields across five countries. We present geographic distribution and field-level incidence of the most prominent pest and disease invaders, introduce readily-available management options and research needs. Monitoring work reveals that several exotic mealybug and (red) mite species have effectively colonised SE Asia's main cassava-growing areas, occurring in respectively 70% and 54% of fields, at average field-level incidence of 27 ± 2% and 16 ± 2%. Cassava witches broom (CWB), a systemic phytoplasma disease, was reported from 64% of plots, at incidence levels of 32 ± 2%. Although all main pests and diseases are non-natives, we hypothesise that accelerating intensification of cropping systems, increased climate change and variability, and deficient crop husbandry are aggravating both organism activity and crop susceptibility. Future efforts need to consolidate local capacity to tackle current (and future) pest invaders, boost detection capacity, devise locally-appropriate integrated pest management (IPM) tactics, and transfer key concepts and technologies to SE Asia's cassava growers. Urgent action is needed to mobilise regional as well as international scientific support, to effectively tackle this phytosanitary emergency and thus safeguard the sustainability and profitability of one of Asia's key agricultural commodities. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
