| Summary: | Oil palm plant, (Elaies guineensis Jacq.) from family Palmae was originated
from the West Africa and was brought into Malaysia by British Colony. It is now
known as the “golden crop” and have become one of the most important oil producing
plants in the world. Oil palm inflorescences and bunches are important diet for two
insects, the fruit bunch moth, Tirathaba mundella and the pollinating weevil,
Elaeidobius kamerunicus. T. mundella cause 50 % loses of fresh fruit bunch (FFB)
while E. kamerunicus is an important pollinator. The objectives of this study are: (1)
to find the relationship between the oil palm inflorescences and bunches stage with T.
mundella and E. kamerunicus, (2) to find the efficacy and residual effect of several
insecticides towards the T. mundella population and (3) to determine the effect of
several insecticides towards the E. kamerunicus population. |
