Santa-Cecília, L.V.C., Gonçalves Gervasio, R.D.R., Souza, B., & da Silva, J.R. 2001 Teores de fenois associados ao complexo cochonilha Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll, 1893) versus Murcha-do-abacaxeiro. [Phenolic contents associated with the bug Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll, 1893. (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) versus pineapple plant wilt.]. Ciencia e Agrotecnologia 25(2): 467-470.

Notes: This study investigates the chemical alterations which characterize the pineapple wilt disease. The results suggest that when Swain and Hillis' (1959) method is utilized for phenolic determination, extraction by water is the most efficient method. The uncommon bright rose color of the leaves correlates with the incidence of pineapple wilt and high phenolic content.
