Comparison of Single and Repeated Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Applications in Controlling Multi-stage Outbreaks of Pteroma pendula (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) in Perak

Infestations of bagworm, Pteroma pendula (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), have severely affected local oil palm smallholders in Perak, Malaysia. Therefore, this study set out to assess the effect of single and multiple applications of Bacillus thuringiensis MPOB Bt1 (Bt), used as a bioinsecticide for controlling multi-stage P. pendula infestations at three severely infested (>100 larvae per frond) […]

Application of Streptomyces nigrogriseolus GanoSA1 as a Preventive Treatment of Basal Stem Rot Disease Caused by Ganoderma boninense

Research on the usage of biological control agents (BCA) for the management of basal stem rot disease of oil palm or better known as Ganoderma disease offers a greener solution than synthetic chemical fungicides. The actinomycete is one of the interesting groups of microbes with huge potential to be developed as a biological control agent. […]
