An overview on the management of key insect pests of cocoa with major emphasis on the cocoa pod borer, Conopomorpha cramerella.
Abstract
The control of Conopomorpha cramerella on cocoa in Malaysia is discussed. The available management tactics include cultural and mechanical methods, and involve the concept of a host free period and pod sleeving, biological control with Dolichoderus thoracicus and the egg parasitoid, Trichogrammatoidea bactrae fumata, the use of resistant clones and the application of the chemicals. 20 ref.
