Abstract

The study was conducted to Survey, documentation and bionomics of Mealy bug, Pseudococcus virgatus on Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) and mesta (H. sabdariffa L.) in different jute growing regions and in the laboratory of Entomology Department, BJRI during the jute growing 2017 and 2018 season with 10 replications following CRD design. The highest infestation of Mealybug (80.49%) was found in HC-95 of kenaf variety at Narayanganj sub-station and the lowest infestation of Mealybug (11.34%) was found in HS-24 of Mesta variety at Patuakhali sub-station of BJRI. Most infested part of plant was twig. The egg is oval in shape and measures on an average 0.315mm in length and 0.135mm in breadth. The average length of newly hatches nymphs were 0.495±0.022 mm and average wide in 0.213±0.008 mm. The first moulting occurred within 4-5 days with an average of 4.6±0.163days. The second moulting occurred within 6-9 days after first moulting with an average of 7.50±0.268 days. The third moulting occurred within 7-9 days after second moulting with an average of 8.00±0.388 days. The average length of adult male is in 1.60±0.459 mm and average breath is in 0.68±0.078 mm. The average length of adult female is in 4±0.86 mm and average breath is in 2.40±0.516 mm. The incubation period varied from 3-5days with an average of 4.7±0.94 days. The total nymphal period of pseudococcus virgatus was with an average of 20.1±1.05 days. The duration of adult male and female was an average 15.8±0.388 and 35.9±0.348 days respectively.
