This collection brings together the different datasets that have been used to generate the paper "Mealybugs in Mediterranean persimmon: fruit infestation, seasonal trend and effect of climate change". The aims of this work were to: i) determine the spatio-temporal dynamics of mealybug species in the main persimmon producing area of the Mediterranean basin; ii) determine seasonal trend, phenology, and fruit infestation of the main mealybug species; and, iii) predict the effect of climate change on mealybug phenology. To achieve the third aim, the thermal constant necessary to complete a generation for the main mealybug species identified was estimated under field conditions. The collection includes different data folders. Each folder contains datasets used for the different sections explained in detail in the methodology of the paper. Each folder includes README files explaining the methodology for collecting the data and the structure of the datasets., This dataset is associated to the published paper “Mealybugs in Mediterranean persimmon: fruit infestation, seasonal trend and effect of climate change”. We identified the main mealybug species in Mediterranean persimmon, determined their phenology, and developed tools to predict damage at harvest. To do this, we sampled 17 orchards from the main persimmon producing area in Spain over two consecutive years. The collection includes several files that contains data used for the different sections explained in detail in the methodology of the paper.
