Mealybug control on coffee – two-way systemic action through the whole plant
Why are mealybugs and aphids a serious threat to coffee?
Mealybugs and aphids are sap-sucking pests that can cause serious damage; they are often found:
- On young shoots, leaf stalks and roots
- Multiplying quickly in the dry season
- Excreting honeydew that causes sooty mould, slowing growth and seriously reducing yield
No early treatment = crop loss = persistent reinfestation
Early signs of mealybugs & aphids
| Pest | Typical signs | Main damage |
|---|---|---|
| Mealybugs | White powdery coating, in clusters | Stunted tips, poor flowering, fruit drop |
| Aphids | Small black/green insects on young shoots | Curled leaves, slow growth, virus transmission |
