Jinius Jipanin, . (2010) Outbreak incidence of Black Hispid Plesispa reichei Chapuis on coconut in Sabah Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

This paper reports results of surveillance survey of black hispid Plesispa reichei Chapuis infestation in coconut Cocos nucifera L. growing areas in Sabah Malaysia. The earliest collection record of this insect on coconut was in 1955 Labuan and in 1962 Kudat by Mr. K.L Leong. Since then the infestation on coconut was not noticed until the year 2000 when significant populations were recorded in the west coast coastal areas of Sipitang Menumbok Kuala Penyu Membakut Bongawan Papar Kota Kinabalu and Tuaran. By year 2006 it has spread to the east coast regions of Kudat Kota Marudu Pitas Sandakan Lahad Datu Sempoma and Tawau. Recent surveys show the infestation has already spread to interior areas like Beaufort Telupid Ranau Tambunan Keningau and Tenom. It can be concluded the pest has spread throughout Sabah. It has been noted that the adults were found infesting oil palm Elaeis guineensis planted near infested coconut trees but the damage caused is minimal. Other palms found infested are landscape palms such as manila palm Veitchia merrillii and royal palm Roystenea regia.

Abstract

This paper reports results of surveillance survey of black hispid Plesispa reichei Chapuis infestation in coconut Cocos nucifera L. growing areas in Sabah Malaysia. The earliest collection record of this insect on coconut was in 1955 Labuan and in 1962 Kudat by Mr. K.L Leong. Since then the infestation on coconut was not noticed until the year 2000 when significant populations were recorded in the west coast coastal areas of Sipitang Menumbok Kuala Penyu Membakut Bongawan Papar Kota Kinabalu and Tuaran. By year 2006 it has spread to the east coast regions of Kudat Kota Marudu Pitas Sandakan Lahad Datu Sempoma and Tawau. Recent surveys show the infestation has already spread to interior areas like Beaufort Telupid Ranau Tambunan Keningau and Tenom. It can be concluded the pest has spread throughout Sabah. It has been noted that the adults were found infesting oil palm Elaeis guineensis planted near infested coconut trees but the damage caused is minimal. Other palms found infested are landscape palms such as manila palm Veitchia merrillii and royal palm Roystenea regia.
