Abstract
Currently over a dozen species of Conogethes have been recognized. Of which, Conogethes punctiferalis is prevalent on several plants and well distributed in South of Vietnam. Species of Conogethes infesting ginger and other Zingiberaceae belong to another species. Durian, soursop, longan, and rambutan are the major fruit crops infested by C. punctiferalis in Vietnam. Integration of cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods has proven effective against this borer pest. Augmentation and supplement releases of parasites and encouragement and conservation of predators and natural enemies is necessary for suppressing Conogethes borer populations in fruit orchards and plantations.
