Mealybugs are one of the infestations that cause great damage to coffee yield, especially their productivity. These insects appear every year on the field, and normally damage all parts of the plant.

Normaly, mealybugs sting coffee flowers, fruit stalks, young branches, and causing the coffee shedding the flowers and young fruits. At the same time, mealybugs also indirectly generate black soot fungus on leaves, reducing photosynthetic ability, causing yellowing and underdeveloped plants.

In addition, mealybugs are harmful on coffee roots, injecting fluid at the bottome of the plant, root necks and roots, root-hairs causing yellowing effect on coffee, from the bottom to the top, make the leaves to fall slowly.
