NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Philippines – The provincial government of Negros Occidental imposed restrictions on the transport of coconut and coconut products due to an infestation that has already affected two cities and two towns in the province.
Cocolisap, which resembles fish scales and is commonly found under coconut leaves, is believed to reproduce every nine days for a duration of one month. Lacson said the cocolisap infestation has already impacted the cities of Bago and La Carlota, and the towns of Murcia and La Castellana. The provincial capitol has set aside an initial P250,000 for the pruning of leaves on the affected coconut trees, according to Melencion.
