Sarma, A.K., Bhattacharyya, D., & Bhattacharyya, S. 2024 Present status of Papaya Mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink, in Assam, India, after a decade of its first invasion. The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41936-024-00387-5
Keywords:
Notes: We hypothesized that P. marginatus has invaded more villages over time and farmers managed the pest by different means. Therefore, a survey was conducted during 2020–2022 in order to know—(i) the territorial extension of the pest after a decade of its first invasion in the district, (ii) the management practices adopted by the farmers, and (iii) ecosystem support, if any, where no control measures were taken up by the farmers.
