Effects of cassava pubescene on the behaviour, postembryonic development and reproduction of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti matileferrero (Homoptera: pseudococcidae)

Role of trichome density in cassava resistance to mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero was evaluated on the apex, the first expanded leaf and the stem in pubescent and glabrous cassava varieties. Pubescence significantly retarded the rate of settling and establishment of P. manihoti. The we...
