Summary, etc.	An experiment was conducted in the Department of Entomology, College of <br/>Agriculture, Vellayani to find the effectiveness of plant products and sterile insect <br/>technique to contain red palm weevil in coconut. As a part of the experiment, <br/>survey was conducted 111 the red palm weevil infested tracts of <br/>Thiruvananthapuram district between June 2001- February 2002 to find out the <br/>extent of damage caused by red palm weevil. <br/>The data collected during the survey revealed that, the infestation of red <br/>palm weevil was highest in coastal area than that in inland areas; The percentage <br/>infestation was higher during June and less during February months. Also the <br/>infestation was higher in palms upto 7 years old. <br/>The results on the study of the effect of plant products to contain red palm <br/>weevil showed that apple extract of Anacardium occidentale 10% was the best <br/>treatment which caused highest mortality of red palm weevil. Also leaf extract of <br/>Thevetia neriifolia , seed oil of A. indica and seed oil of Samadera indica had <br/>shown considerable repellency of red palm weevil under laboratory conditions. <br/>In the case of sterile insect technique, gamma radiation at 1.5 Krad was <br/>found to be the best treatment as it caused considerable sterility as well as higher <br/>longevity of irradiated insects. The irradiated insects should be exposed to 6 <br/>virgin females for the duration of 12 days before releasing in the field to nullify <br/>the effect of initial fertility of unaffected sperms in the irradiated insects. The <br/>studies also revealed that there were repeated mating in red palm weevil and the <br/>sperms transferred during the recent mating only aids fertilization. To counteract <br/>the competition by wild males to mate with females, the irradiated males should <br/>be flooded in the field with a ratio of 10 irradiated male insects per normal male in <br/>the field. <br/>In conclusion the experiment reveals the overall efficiency of plant products <br/>and sterile insect technique to manage red palm weevil in coconut. <br/><br/>
