Additional Information

• To minimize the spread of CRB:

1. Do not move any coconut material or composting organic matter from CRB-affected areas.
2. Reduce the breeding habitat for adult beetles by breaking up coconut logs and stumps into small pieces which rot down quickly, burning woody debris and covering woody debris with gill netting.
3. Regular inspection (every month) and removal of grubs from rotting trunks is also possible for areas were burning not feasible or allowed.
4. Unwanted palm material should not be thrown out, as it may be carrying the beetle.
5. Risk of CRB outbreaks is increased by cyclones / typhoons, which increase the moisture content of soil, and also increase the amount of dead or dying organic material for breeding sites e.g. fallen, waterlogged palm logs.
6. Surveillance, using bucket traps with pheromone lures is especially important for early detection of CRB, both for new detections or spread within a country.
7. Bucket traps of various sorts can be used for surveillance. If possible, the traps should be hung high in the trees, 1.5 to 2 meters with free air movement so that beetles can detect the lures.
