Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation The scale insect Aspidiotus destructor was identified as the pest responsible for coconut decay in Baucau.
- Recommendation Importing a predatory ladybird for local rearing and release in infested coconut plantations is proposed as a biological control method.
- Observation 38 of 46 Chilocorus-type ladybird adults (C. politus) imported to Timor-Leste arrived in good condition at the Triloka laboratory near Baucau.
- Observation Aspidiotus destructor spread considerably, with palm deaths, in and around the town of Baucau between March 2002 and December 2003.
- Observation Aspidiotus destructor foci were identified in the coastal villages between Baucau and Com.
- Observation Pullus sp., a local ladybird at the port of Com, is apparently a predator of Aspidiotus destructor.
- Recommendation Building layout should be improved to create a stable microclimate for ladybird development at the Triloka rearing laboratory.

- Recommendation Different stages of C. politus rearing should be organised to avoid mixing successive larval instars and generations.
