Coconut is one of the commodities that produce in big number and it is consumed by most f people, for additional ingredients, Making cake and many other benefits that can be taken from coconut. But some times among farmers get problem in maintain coconut trees. It is included a bug and there is a kind of bugs that can radiate to the other plant quickly.

This is BPK that I adopted from Indonesian is disease that can radiate to the other trees by following wind and is brought by insect. Indication of this disease are : desiccated of leaves around the coconut then top of coconut will putrid and then it will drop before harvesting tie, it is 3-4 weeks.

There are some ways to solving this disease. They are culture technique, sanitised, burning, chemical and felling. Culture technique can be done by making ditch between trees. Its aim is to avoid over watering when rain fall down. It can be way for water to flow to the other place . it is carried out because of BPK comes when rain season and it bring more water for coconut tree. When harvesting time burn all of coconut fruit to be burned.

Then chemical technique can be injection to the root of coconut tree, stem injection or spouting chemical. Root injection is technique that usually done for young trees meanwhile stem injection done for coconut tree in producing period. These injection are done by using fungisida sistemic. We can do this technique with dosage 40-60ml/tree every six month. I also can be applied for all of trees around pain tree and can be done after harvesting time. This technique will be done more often when there is booming pain. we can give injection every 2 months.

Then to do root injection we have to choose a root that has 1 cm diameter then cut it in the end of the root. Put it into plastic that has been fulled by chemical then bunch the top of plastic. Meanwhile to do stem injection we can making holes with 1 cm in deep and 1,5 in diameter. It made on the tree wit 1 meter from soil. Then inject it with chemical then stanch the hole.Spouting technique can be done by using spouter and the we use fungisida sistemic for stop disease for tree that has falling fruit.
