contents Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) pod borer (CPB ??? Conopomorpha cramella S.) and cocoa black pods (CBP ??? Phytophtora palmivora) are the major pest and disease that cause lowyield and quality of Sulawesicocoa under conventional system. We investigated the significance of zero waste integrated cocoa-cow (ZWCC), compared to conventional production systems, to soil biodiversity and incidence of CPB and CBP in West Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study was conducted in two sites, 30 km apart.
