Notes: The objective was to determine the temporal and spatial dynamics of Paracoccus marginatus in four experimental areas in 2014 and 2015 in Yucatan, Mexico. The results suggest that practices for control of this pest in the region should be implemented from early to mid-May, before aggregates of infested plants start to form and serve as sources for mealybugs dispersal across rows and over larger distances.
