Abstract

Populations and damage by the papaya mealybug Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on papaya in
lowland areas of South Sumatera. One of the main problems in papaya cultivation today is the presence of a newly
introduced pest, the white papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). This study aimed to
observe the mealybug populations and its damage percentage in papaya plants and to identify its host plants in South
Sumatera. The study was carried out on the fruit and vegetable producing area in Indralaya, South Sumatera. The survey was
conducted on papaya plantation plots with a minimum size of 1000 m2. Data from the observation indicated that populations
of P. marginatus on papaya fruit were not significantly different to those on papaya leaves, except for the first observation in
the rainy season. In general, the percentages of mealybug damages were not affected by the season and the percentages of
damage on the leaves were not different from those on the fruits of the papaya plants. Inventory of P. marginatus host plants
on the area resulted in a total of 12 species of host plants dominated by dicotyledonous plant species. The host plants were
from 11 families, i.e. Anacardiaceae, Caricaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Rosaceae, Rutaceae,
Sapindaceae, Sapotaceae, and Solanaceae.
