Pasture mealybug has not been detected in Oklahoma, but recent findings in surrounding states have put this emerging pest on the radar.

Ashleigh Faris, statewide IPM coordinator and OSU Extension cropping systems entomologist, explains what producers should watch for, including yellowing or dying grass and small, white, waxy insects near the soil surface. If you suspect pasture mealybug, collect a sample and contact your local OSU Extension county office for identification.
