Abstract

Leaf eating caterpillars are serious pests of oil palm in Malaysia. When natural control breaks down these insect pests can build-up rapidly cause severe defoliation and result in serious crop losses. A Monitoring and Surveillance System (MSS) has been developed to counter these pests. Proper training of plantation personnel is crucial for successful implementation of the MSS. Early detection and regular two-weekly census are conducted. The data is sent to the central research station for processing using computers. Recommendations are rapidly issued to the respective plantations based on the summary produced. Integrated pest management of leaf eating caterpillars in oil palm is thus facilitated by this MSS
