Persistent drought conditions in Louisiana are raising concerns among homeowners and gardeners statewide. Along the coast, a troubling development is saltwater intrusion. This phenomenon is marked by the infiltration of saltwater into the Mississippi River, resulting in the formation of a saltwater wedge.
If you've noticed the presence of white, fluffy, cotton- like formations on your plants, chances are you've encountered one of the most common garden pests: mealybugs. These insects are often found on the leaves, stems and flower buds of your plants, leaving you wondering about the identity of this white substance.
