| Abstract:
Among the numerous insect pests infesting cashew, stem and root borer, Plocaederus ferrugineus L. is the most dreaded one since its infestation results in the death of the tree. Collection of the pest in different stages and destroying them, followed by application of BHC 10 per cent dust to the soil and 0.1 per cent spray to the trunk gives 100 per cent control of the pest even in the advance stages of infestation. Various methods adopted for an effective control of the pest by adopting an integrated approach are discussed. | |
