Fungal Rot Killing Coconut Trees in Hawaii pg.2

Control
Diseased trees and nuts should be removed and incinerated. The presence of infected host tissue is a serious threat to healthy coconut trees in the surrounding area. Diseased plants harbor the pathogen for many months, even after the plants have died. An expanded report with color photographs of this disease has been submitted to the University of Hawaii, CTAHR Publications Office to be printed soon. Research information with a few black and white photographs is available in ‘Phytophthora fruit and heart rots of coconuts in Hawaii”. 1992. Plant Disease 76:925-927.
