Abstract
Millions of ringgit are lost annually in recent years in East Malaysia from mid-year reductions in FFB OER and KER because of poor fruit set. The latter is due to poor pollination some five months earlier when weevil numbers are drastically low. An important cause of the population reduction appears to be increased nematode parasitism reducing weevil reproductive rates and life expectancy. Coincident security of male inflorescences the weevil breeding sites reduces populations to levels sub-optimal for adequate pollination.
