Abstract

A field experiment was laid out in a randomized block design at Navalur, Dharwad, Karnataka to evolve effective spray schedule and root feeding against the coconut eriophyid mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer. The experiment had nine treatments and six plants were selected for each treatment. Among the different schedules, the treatment consisting of root feeding for six times in a year at two months interval during (January, March, May, July, September and November) proved significantly superior in reducing the mite (both active stages and egg) population and recorded minimum number of damaged nuts.
