menace in all the coconut growing tract and creating havoc In coconut cuKtvattoa Consequently it has aoqulnad political Impoitinoe since coconut gnowerB ane having a powerful bbby with diffiarant state govemmenti.
Many attempts have been made to control the pest through a systemic poison i.a. poisoNng the plant arKl its sap so that the mita is killed in initlat stage. This poisoning is given as rxmt ffsading with difRsrsnt Organo-phosphorous and CNorlnated hydrocarbons. In additton spray of the Just opened spathe with fertiiiaad female flowers tending to daveiop further and also the young tender coconufci already infoctad with mites are sprayed with botanical rapeilenbi like neem oil preperattons couptad with well known eniomopethogenic spores like oonldial spores of httrautmUa thonTpaonli era recommended end prsctJoed but with certain raservattons these ramedtas have their own short comings. The pestfddes used presently for root feeding are not miticides and hence the control is not
