Coconut Diseases
Synopsis
Coconut palm (Cocos Nucifera L.) a tree to versatility, popularly know as 'King of Palms' and 'Kalpavriksha' has been used as a source of food, drink, oil and milk by humans and their ancestors for at least half a million years. This palm not only provides sustainable income to millions who are directly and indirectly depending on this palm but also helps to provide food security, nutritional security, employment opportunities, alleviate poverty, export earnings and import substitution. This perennial palm, inspite of its hardy nature and adaptability to different soil conditions and vagaries of climate, often succumbs to different diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, phytoplasma and viruses. There has been long felt need for a book exclusively on the diseases of coconut by compiling information available in the different coconut growing countries. The bibliography cited in this publication would bear evidence to the fact that the last five decades had seen the accumulation of a considerable amount of literature on different diseases of the coconut and their management including very minor pathogens of coconut. This book would be useful for coconut growers, researchers, teachers, extension workers and students and also this book would serve as a good reference book on coconut diseases. The authors have tried to present up-to-date information on diseases of coconut.
