dc.descriptionPineapple mealybug wilt has been reported as one of the most important diseases affecting pineapple crops worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of mealybugs associated with two agroclimatic zones of pineapple production in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The survey was conducted in the upper (Dagua, Restrepo, La Cumbre and Vijes) and lower (Buga and Palmira) land zones. A total of 75 MD2 pineapple plots in different development growth stages were evaluated. The mealybugs were recorded mainly in the upper land zone, with a prevalence of 32 %. Concerning the plots growth stages, the highest prevalence was observed in second-cycle plots (13.3 %), followed by third-cycle ones, including abandoned plots (9.3 %), and first-cycle plots (6.7 %), which were associated with the use of pesticides. Dysmicoccus brevipes was the only mealybug species (Pseudococcidae) found on pineapples in the study area.
