title: [Pest control and yield increase of areca by root-zone application of carbofuran in admixture with fertilizers].
abstract: The result of our experiment has shown that by root-zone application of carbofuran in admixture with fertilizers to Areca in spring the serious pest Tirathaba rufivena can be controlled for 4 months during flowering and young fruiting stage and the yield can increase by 50%. The final residual amount of carbofuran in fruits is below 0.1-0.01 ppm or too low to be examined, and there is no decrease in total alkaloid content in fruits.
