Pineapple fruit rotted, are mealys the cause?
« on: October 29, 2024, 12:23:42 PM »
Looking for advice from pineapple growers. I had a 8 month old fruit in a greenhouse plant. I have never had a problem with pests on this plant (had it for 3 years). When I took a close look today the fruit (which was 1/2 normal size) was completely rotten. I noticed a couple of white spots on the outside where the rot was but didn’t see any mealy bugs. Have people had an issue with mealy destroying fruit?
