Question 1 Report

Which of the following insects transmits swollen shoot disease of cocoa?
Answer Details
The insect that transmits swollen shoot disease of cocoa is the mealybug. Mealybugs are small, soft-bodied insects that are covered in a white, waxy powder. They feed on plant sap, and when they feed on cocoa trees, they can transmit the virus that causes swollen shoot disease. Swollen shoot disease is a serious viral disease that can cause stunted growth and death of cocoa trees. It is therefore important to control mealybug populations in cocoa farms to prevent the spread of the disease.
