Abstract: Cashew stem and root borer (Plocaederus ferrugineus L.) is one of the most important pests of cashew. The incidence of cashew stem and root borer mostly remains unnoticed by cashew growers during initial stage as it is hidden and initial symptoms are inconspicuous leading to loss of yielding trees resulting in reduction of cashew productivity. The intensity of incidence depends upon management practices. A survey was conducted in the year 2017-18 to know the farmers knowledge and perception regarding cashew stem and root borer (CSRB) incidence, its nature of damage and management practices followed by them. The incidence of CSRB was found less in Dodamarg taluka where there is more knowledge regarding different aspects of CSRB. From the results it can be concluded that the farmers knowledge regarding cashew stem and root borer, its nature of damage and management technology developed by Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidaypeeth, Dapoli plays an important role in management of cashew stem and root borer.
