Indian coffee board- monthly magazine- Cover Story- THE PROBLEM OF COFFEE WHITE STEM BORER AND THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES (#)
„Along with BHC, Lindane 20 EC was also recommended, but no body was using it due to the higher cost. The claim that BHC was more effective than Lindane in coffee planting circle is more psychological than scientific. Recent evaluation tests conducted for three years at CCRI have revealed that Lindane is as effective as BHC and since Lindane is available in liquid form it is easy to spray the solution directly on to the main stem and thick primaries with some amount of pressure using a backpack sprayer which facilitates penetration of the pesticide solution into the cracks and crevices on the coffee bark. Lindane 20 EC at the Brain Storming Session on Coffee White Stem Borer Coffee Board organized a Brain Storming Session on Coffee White Stem Borer at the Board's Conference Room on 23rd July 2004 at Bangalore on the premise that there was a communication gap with regard to the management of the stem borer and the coffee growing community needs to convinced about the research efforts being made and also about appropriate management strategies to be adopted to mitigate the situation.“

As an alternate to Lindane, now chlorpyrilos is suggested for use in the management of stem borer. The use of ecofriendly products like 10%Lime solution, which is found effective in the trials, is also being encouraged to reduce the dependence on chemical pesticides for borer control.“
