Date palms
The dubas bug is a sap sucking insect and pest of date palms. Nymphs and adults suck sap from fronds, leaves, and fruit clusters. In recent years, it has become an important pest of date palm plantation. A dubas bug presence results in the formation of honeydew as a byproduct of the sap being consumed, which then gives rise to the formation of sooty mold and a reduction in photosynthesis.
A heavy infestation can reduce crop yields by several percentages. Infested fruits are smaller and exhibit delayed ripening and low sugar content.
Cuanto antes, mejor: es más fácil y más rentable superar la infestación durante las etapas iniciales. Haga una rutina de monitoreo regular en el campo y mire las plantas para detectar la presencia de los síntomas anteriores.
