In Asia, coconut is a widely accepted cash crop, but in India, cultivation is only obligated in humid tropical regions. Coconut cultivation and utility are not new to Indians as it has been mentioned multiple times in Vedic scriptures as Kalpavruksha. The hybrid or variety planted, the soil, the environment, and management practices are the key factors that affect the quality and quantity of coconuts harvested per palm. Coconut is frequently described as a small- and marginal farmers' crop. A wide range of insects and pests are known to attack the coconut plantation which will bring down the yield by 80 to 90 per cent.  There have also been instances where bad plant protection management has destroyed the entire plantation. The emergence of a novel pest or resurgence of old ones is often noticed in horticulture. Of late Owlet Moth, scientifically known as Cyclodes Omma insect is not a host-specific pest and its emergence is reported in a coconut plantation. You could learn more about the damage symptoms of the insect and prevention measures from this blog.
