Answer Key:

Sample answer:

Three major insect pests that affect fruit-bearing crops are mealy bugs, stink bugs, and thrips. Mealy bugs are sucking
and stationary insects found abundantly on the axils of leaves and along the stems of plants. They cause stunted growth
and give plants a sticky appearance. Stink bugs discharge foul odor and suck the sap of the plants, causing damage.
Thrips are tiny insects concealed beneath flower spikes and leaf sheaths. They severely attack plants, causing them to
wither, turn brownish, and eventually die.
