Preliminary observations on the incidence of termites on coffee and its shade trees
Five species of termites were observed damaging coffee plants and thirteen species of shade trees. Odontotermes spp. were the dominant ones distributed in coffee growing areas of Karnataka. They feed on the bark and living tissues of the plants. Among shade trees, silver oak (Grevillea robusta A.) and dadap, (Erythrina lithosperma Lam.) were more prone to termite attack.
