Abstract:

Nut rot on coconut can be spread simply by contact or by spreading agents which maintain isolated infections within a bunch on a given tree and at plot level. The disease generally spreads horizontally from one bunch to another and vertically, particularly vertically downwards, from one nut to another in a given bunch. The positive effect of water and insects in disease spread has been demonstrated.
