Comparison between biological and chemical control to overcome Metisa Plana infestation / Siti Nur Fitrah Abd Malik

Oil palm is the main crop commodity in Malaysia and now Malaysia being the second largest producer of oil palm after Indonesia by 17200 export volume per metric tonnes. Malaysian has two equal regions roughly which is Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo (Otieno et.al, 2016). Bagworm now become...

The method for biological control are using mass trapping of bagworm. Two plot or stage of oil palm trees which is 16 years old and 6 years old are selected for this experiment because both stage are having an outbreak of bagworm at this RISDA. 1 ha of oil palm tree consist of 148 trees.

From the graph produced, the highest yield produced is 116.2m/tan, which is by using the chemical control. The production of yields from the first month to the fourth months shows an increasing trend for both chemical and biological control.
