Abstract
A serious wilt disease of coconut is prevalent in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu, India. It particularly affects the Thanjavur district, where considerable havoc has been reported since the cyclones of 1952 and 1955. Palms within the age-group of 10-25 years are particularly susceptible and recovery is very rare. Investigation of this disease has been in progress in Thambikottai, Thanjavur, since 1965 under a scheme financed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
