Do not hold over "pet plants" that may be infested, and keep greenhouses as weed free as possible. Immediately dispose of heavily infested plants. Power wash infested  benches between crop cycles. Do not reuse pots without thorough cleaning before reuse. Maintain proper fertility levels for the crop you are growing. High nitrogen fertility favors mealybug reproduction

Look for all evidence – mealybugs, nymphs, cottony egg masses (most species), and cottony wax residue. Infestations can be isolated, or they me be found on a few plants or in a general area. sanitation is an important – and neglected – part of managing mealybugs. In one greenhouse, the grower cleaned up an entrenched and serious problem by ‘fallowing’ or power-washing benches between crops and not planting in recently used pots. ‘Spot’ infestations were eliminated by discarding the most infested plants – insecticides weren’t going to work well for these anyway. Arboreta sometimes ‘power wash’ the mealybugs directly off tougher plants. Isolating infested material from clean crops might be possible in some cases.]]> 2017-05-03 13:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brandon_conner/nqvczh4su0on/wish/169678887
