    • Notes: The present study evaluates the biological parameters of the papaya mealybug (PMB), Paracoccus marginatus (Williams and Granara de Willink, 1992), on five different host plants viz. papaya (Carica papaya L.), hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.), jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.), mulberry (Morus alba L.) and marigold (Tagetes erecta L.), to determine the host suitability. https://doi.org/10.51963/jers.v27i3.2870
