Question 1 Report

Which of the following insects transmits swollen shoot virus of Cocoa?
Answer Details
Mealybug is the insect that transmits the swollen shoot virus of Cocoa. The virus is transmitted by the pink hibiscus mealybug, a tiny insect that feeds on the sap of the cocoa plant. The mealybugs are attracted to the cocoa pods and leaves, and when they feed, they inject the virus into the plant. The virus then spreads throughout the plant, causing the symptoms of swollen shoot disease, which can be devastating to cocoa production. Therefore, the correct answer is "Mealybug".
