OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Like aphids, scale insects are small and come in a variety of colors in eluding green, brown, tan, yellow, orange, and black. Unlike, aphids they lack antennae and just look like a tiny rounded shell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Symptoms of damage: Both nymphs and adults suck the sap from leaves, buds and pods. Curling may occur in infested leaves and at advanced stage plants may wither and die. Plants remain stunted and sooty molds grow on the honey dew excreted by the insects. The infected filed looks sickly and blighted in appearance.
