Notes: The biology of the mealybug, Planococcus minor (Maskell) was studied in the laboratory on different host plants. The average duration of male and female nymphs respectively were 21.42 and 16.17 days on Ixora signaporensis, 16.73 and 17.49 days on Glycine max and 21.30 and 21.80 days on Acalypha wilkesiana. The preoviposition and oviposition periods and fecundity were 8.25 and 9.25 days and 65.75 eggs on I. signaporensis, 6.25 and 8.25 days and 132.50 eggs on G. max and 7.25 and 9.25 days and 138.75 eggs on A. wilkesiana.
