Minimum effective dose of chlorantraniliprole and chromafenozide to control oil palm bunch moth Tirathana mundella walker

The bunch moth, Tirathaba mundella is one of the leading pests in oil palm estates established on peatland. Severely infested male inflorescences usually would fail reaching anthesis. Reduction in the number of inflorescences at anthesis stage would suggest less food source and breeding ground for o...
