Use of baits for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of ants, pineapple mealybugs, and mealybug wilt disease of pineapple in Espírito Santo, Brazil

Research is being conducted in Espírito Santo, Brazil to evaluate the use of baits containing insecticides for control of ants associated with mealybugs infesting pineapple to reduce mealybug populations and mealybug wilt disease of pineapple. Initial results indicate that baits containing abamectin may be useful for control of ants and thus may help reduce mealybug populations and mealybug wilt incidence.
