Field Notes

Description:

Female scales have a pear-shaped, dark brown scale covering. Males are more slender than the females and are white with a yellow cap on one end. The male scale covering has three ridges running its length. Both sexes are easily observable on plants and are normally 1/16 inch long. All stages are yellow when observed beneath the scale covering.
Plants lose vigor and become spindly. The leaves turn yellow and fall prematurely. Heavy infestations can kill the plants. All stages damage plants. <br> <br>
Las hembras tienen una cubierta de color marrón oscuro en forma de pera. Los machos son más delgados que las hembras y son de color blanco con una gorra de color amarillo en un extremo. La cubierta del macho tiene tres salientes que se extienden a lo largo. Ambos sexos son fácilmente observables en las plantas y son normalmente de 1/16 de pulgada de largo. Todas las etapas son de color amarillo cuando se observa por debajo de la cubierta de escala.
Las plantas pierden vigor y se vuelven delgadas. Las hojas se vuelven amarillas y caen prematuramente. Las infestaciones severas pueden matar las plantas. Todas las etapas dañan las plantas.
