Hibiscus mealybugs, invasive pests, infest hibiscus plants, causing stunted growth, yellowing, and wilting. These white, cottony insects feed on plant sap, weakening plants and reducing ornamental value. Biological control (lacewings, ladybugs, parasitic wasps), chemical control (insecticides, horticultural oils), cultural practices (inspection, pruning, companion planting), and physical control (traps) are effective management strategies. Early detection and integrated pest management are crucial for effective control.
