The threat of Ganoderma to the oil palm industry in Malaysia warrants aggressive approaches in finding a solution to the disease.

The threat of Ganoderma to the oil palm industry in Malaysia warrants aggressive approaches in finding a solution to the disease. Removing (deboling) the diseased old palms stands carrying mycelia masses of Ganoderma to avoid further transmission of the disease prior to replanting.

The implementation of The Malaysian Oil Palm Industry Biosecurity Plan will be our first step in protecting and preventing invasive pests, diseases or weeds from entering our country, thus securing the future of the oil palm industry in Malaysia.

Plant oil palms away from tree stumps. Large roots should be removed from planting holes. Do not burn grass or stumps before planting. Option 1- Fell palms, cut trunks into small sections and re-move coconut trunks and stumps from the area. This is the best option.

1. Sanitation by removal (deboling) of boles, stumps and root masses, ploughing and planting new palm along the ploughing areas (Idris et al., TOT, 2004) Two Study Sites: Site 2: Segamat, Johor Soil type : Durian series (Inland) Study started : 1993 BSR incidence (1st generation): T1 …

Palm 3.73 Oil Productivity • Palm oil produces 6-9 times more oil per hectare, thus optimising land use.

Correct techniques of land preparation at the time of oil palm replanting are regarded as an important practice for controlling the BSR disease. These control strategies are based on observations that infection occurs by mycelial spread through root to root contact.

For the former, the proper deboling and shredding of oil palm debris during replanting and timely removal of infected palms in existing stands have brought about effective management of disease inoculum. In prime-aged infected palms, soil mounding has been shown to …
