The red ring disease caused by the nematode Bursaphelenchus cocophilus and vectored by the American palm weevil Rhynchophorus palmarum the defoliator Opsiphanes cassina Lepidoptera Nymphalidae and several bud spear rots have been the most important phytosanitary problems of the oil palm in Central America.

Abstract

The red ring disease caused by the nematode Bursaphelenchus cocophilus and vectored by the American palm weevil Rhynchophorus palmarum the defoliator Opsiphanes cassina Lepidoptera Nymphalidae and several bud spear rots have been the most important phytosanitary problems of the oil palm in Central America. Many years of research and field experience have yielded integrated management programs for each one of them where the agronomic component has been a fundamental part. These programs have proven to be effective at maintaining all these problems under effective control. This paper summarizes the work done; emphasizing on the most important aspects steps for each program and indicating that the final success is only obtained if every aspect of the program is followed with discipline and the control efforts are extended over a cluster of plantations in a particular geographical area.
