Abstract
For these diseases, curative or prophylactic control measures do not exist. As such the only precaution which can be adopted is to avoid collection of seednuts/ pollen from diseased localities within 200 km. International cooperation in funding the collection, maintenance and multiplication of indigenous and exotic germplasm is required as most of the coconut growing countries do not have enough available funds for this. Locating world germplasm collection of coconut at two centres and establishing regional germplasm centres for every region will be of immense value in view of the reported occurrence of an increasing number of seed borne and offer diseases of uncertain etiology.
