A research programme on the epidemiology of coconut lethalyellowing or Cape Saint Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD) in Ghana was launched in march 2007 The objectivewas to characterize the distribution and spread of the disease in space and time at various scales and theirrelation with the environment
Lethal yellowing disease infects coconuts in phases. Firstly, all the nuts, whether ripe or not will often drop. This does not always occur. Next the inflorescences (flower clusters) will blacken as they rot. Obvious yellowing of leaves then occurs from the bottom of the crown up. Fronds die and hang down. This is followed by necrosis (death) of pi...
We strongly recommend an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to the control of all insects, where possible. This is a combination of methods (pesticides, physical controls such as site hygiene, and biological controls) to minimise the use of pesticides and minimise the cost of control.
Lethal yellowing (LY) is one of the most important diseases of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) in the American tropics because it spreads rapidly, kills palms quickly and is incurable at present.

Lethal yellowing symptoms can be easily misdiagnosed. If one symptom is observed but not another it may be interpreted as another disease or nutrient deficiency. For general information on preventing pests and diseases of coconut, see the Prevention section.
Currently, the most successful integrated pest management used to reduce the incidence of lethal yellowing disease was created by Michael Black, a palm grower in Jamaica. The methods used include removing palms with lethal yellowing symptoms immediately by cutting them down and burning.
