Monteiro, G.G., Peronti, A.L.B.G., & Martinelli, N.M. 2021 Presence of pink sugarcane mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) increases probability of red rot on sugarcane. Scientia Agricola doi.org/10.1590/1678-992X-2020-0373

disease transmission

Notes: The objective of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that this pseudococcid. Saccharicoccus sacchari, could act as a facilitator of the penetration of the phytopathogen Colletotrichum falcatum. The presence of the pseudococcid increased the incidence of the disease in both cv., although the RB86 7515 cultivar was more susceptible to red rot than CTC4.
