Mealybugs, characterized by their cottony wax secretions, undergo a four-stage life cycle: egg, crawler, nymph, and adult. They infest ornamental plants and crops, especially in warm and humid conditions. Optimal temperature and humidity promote their growth and reproduction. Environmental factors, like natural enemies, also influence their development. Cultural practices, biological control, and chemical treatments are implemented in management strategies. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines these methods to effectively control mealybug populations.
