Monitoring termite population at rubber plantation using termite baiting system / Noor Lailatul Shuhada Hamzah

Hevea bransiliensis was originally a native tree from Amazon. In early 20th century, it was introduced in Africa. The termite species, Coptotermes curvignathus began to attack the rubber plant from the roots of dead wood and the base around the stem of rubber. The main objective of the study is to i...
