Description
Summary:Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one of the crop that most rapidly develop in the world. Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) were categorized in the same family of Palmae. Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) was a major pest and attacked both type of palma. This pest attacked severely at the young stage of palm. A lot of research and technique were applied to reduce and avoid the palms from being attacked by rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros). The population dynamic of rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) male, female and total male and female in different host varieties of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) at Ladang Penyelidikan Segamat, Johor was evaluated namely DXP PPNJ 1 and DXP PPNJ 2. Meanwhile, MRD, MYD and Tagnanan were 3 different varieties of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.). Ethyl-methyloctanote is a pheromone aggregation used in this study.
