| dc.description.abstract | The coconut palm, Cocos nucifera L. is attacked by nearly 57 species of insects and 12 species of rodents and other vertebrates in India. Among them the rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros L., the leaf eating caterpillar, Opisina arenosella Meyr., the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus F., the white grub, Leucopholis coneophora Burm., and the black rat, Rattus rattus L. are considered to be the major pests. The nature of damage and severity of infestation are discussed. A review has been made on the control aspects including cultural, mechanical, chemical, physiological and biological methods adopted against these pests. An account of the damage and control of other less important pests such as scales, mealy bugs, nut crinklers, termites and bandicoots are also discussed. | en_US |
