 Bangalore, xi, no. 37, 9th September 1916, pp. 456-458. 



In a lecture on the pests and diseases of coffee, the author stated 

 that though the green bug [Coccus viridis] had spread, it was not likely 

 to ruin coffee in Coorg and Mysore, as its numbers had been kept down 

 by fungi. Investigation has shown that at least four species of ants 

 are associated A\'ith this scale. The coffee borer [Zeuzera coffeae] and 

 other serious pests were troublesome dm'ing the past year. Repellents 

 have proved useless against this borer and scrubbing the bark is the 

 only treatment which can be recommended, as it removes a large 

 number of eggs and the larvae cannot reach the tree from eggs which 

 fall to the ground. From 150 to 200 trees can be treated in a day by 

 one man.
