Preservation problems of rattan in Indonesia with emphasis on powder-post beetle infestation

Sulthoni A., . (1985) Preservation problems of rattan in Indonesia with emphasis on powder-post beetle infestation. [Proceedings Paper]

Rattan is one of the important natural resources of Indonesia; 80 of the world rattan consumption is supplied by this country. Waste during harvesting of rattan and its processing is still a serious problem due to the difficult terrain of natural forests and a lack of improved methods of processing. Loss of manau rattan the commercially preferred rattan species in Sumatra during the first drying reached approximately 20 due to biodeteriorating agents. An investigation of several rattan household industries in Yogyakarta during July 1984 revealed the infestation by the powder-post beetle Dinoderus spp. was considerably high in stored rattan and manufactured products. Improvement of preservation procedures was necessary to prevent economic loss through infestation by powder-post beetles; the formulation of effective guidelines for preservation useful to the small rattan industries needs more research and study on rattan pest control which is laking at the moment.

Abstract

Rattan is one of the important natural resources of Indonesia; 80 of the world rattan consumption is supplied by this country. Waste during harvesting of rattan and its processing is still a serious problem due to the difficult terrain of natural forests and a lack of improved methods of processing. Loss of manau rattan the commercially preferred rattan species in Sumatra during the first drying reached approximately 20 due to biodeteriorating agents. An investigation of several rattan household industries in Yogyakarta during July 1984 revealed the infestation by the powder-post beetle Dinoderus spp. was considerably high in stored rattan and manufactured products. Improvement of preservation procedures was necessary to prevent economic loss through infestation by powder-post beetles; the formulation of effective guidelines for preservation useful to the small rattan industries needs more research and study on rattan pest control which is laking at the moment.
