Malaysia oil palm is vulnerable to Ganoderma boninense caused by basal stem rot, a key source of worry for long-term sustainability.

Oil palm base stem rot is the most prevalent disease of the oil palm. This is the same illness that poses a danger to Southeast Asia's oil palm crop. Investigations on the pathogen responsible for the stem rots especially on the top section have found that the basidiomycete Ganoderma boninense is the primary culprit, with G. tornatum as a minor contributor. G. tornatum has a wide range of hosts, but G. boninense appears to be limited to palm trunk.
