Abstract
Mealy bugs, Pseudococcus sp., (or spp.) have been shown to be primarily responsible for symptoms which for a number of years have been appearing on strawberry plants grown in the greenhouse, and which in certain respects bear strong resemblance to those of plants affected with the virus disease, Crinkle. The symptoms of the two troubles show similarity, not only in the occurrence on younger leaves of small, circular to irregularly-shaped translucent spots with more intensely chlorotic central portions, but also in the unevenly chlorotic character and malformation of older leaves and in the ultimate general dwarfing of heavily infested plants.
