Abstract:
Coconut stick insect, Graeffea crounii Le Guillou is one of the pests of coconut palms in Fiji. It is a threat to the coconut industry as a major biotic constraint causing low production of copra and other coconut products. The principle aim of this study was to understand current G. crouanii status and determine the most effective indigenous natural enemies that could be potentially used to control the insect.
