Female sex pheromone of black headed caterpillar Opisina arenosella was also identified and developed in India by PCl,under a project partially funded by CDB; dispensers, dosage and traps were standardized under field conditions and further trials were also conducted in India.It was also established that pheromone lures can be used as a monitoring and a surveillance tool for understanding the pest status before the release parasitoids and natural enemies.Item Organic farming in coconut, problems and prospects(2008-12) Thomas Mathew, M.Item Promoting bio-diversity and byproduct utilization in coconut for inclusive and sustainable growth(2010-11) Thomas Mathew, M.Item Promoting bio-diversity and byproduct utilization in coconut for inclusive and sustainable growth(2010-11) Thomas Mathew, M.Item Staying organized - the key to the success of coconut industries in North Sulawesi Province(2009-05) Thomas Mathew, M.Item Thirty years of triumph & tribulations in Integrated Development of Coconut Industry in India(2011-01) Thomas Mathew, M.Item Trade in Kottathenga, an alternative business preposition for Kerala coconut(2009) Thomas Mathew, M.; Baby, P.O.
