| English abstract | The factors affecting the biological control of large verrucosis (Sphaerodothis acrocomiae) of coconuts (Cocos nucifera) with the utilization of the hiperparasite fungus Acremonium persicinum were studied. This hiperparasite is found mainly in the rainy season (April-august) colonizing stromata of large verrucosis as well as small verrucosis. On culture the fungus produces a fine mycelium, with single, small, hyaline conidium and on PDA the culture has a purplish color. The 107 conidia per ml were the smaller concentration, which gave a bigger colonization in the field trial. The application of the hiperparasite gives best results in the rainy season and when performed i1n the afternoon |
