Hartrot disease has been found to be associated with presence of the flagellate Phytomonas in the phloem of the diseased palm. In field experiments, Endrin (20 %) at a rate of 80 cc in 5 to 10 litres applied to the soil every 2 months was found to significantly prevent spread of the disease. Furadan, Sevin and Chestnut compound were not effective. Weed removal also gave significant (P = 0.01) control of the disease. Cost and risk involved may be saved by a combination of both methods
