Organic Soils of Malaysia, Malaysian Palm Oil Council, Malaysia. Reference ID: 22347 Notes: S 1.4.2 #22347 Abstract: Peat Soils have high carbon stocks and in their natural conditions, they often have high water tables. In the quest for development so as to obtain a higher standard of living, Mankind has cut down the vegetation, drained and cultivated them. Such actions result in loss of carbon stock with resultant carbon dioxide emissions. This raised concern about the cultivation of peat soils and the consequent effect on climate change. While large areas of temperate peatland have been cleared and cultivated previously, tropical peatlands are increasingly being cleared for various land use, including for oil palm cultivation today. Attention has been drawn to the clearing of tropical peatlands and their subsequent cultivation and the implication on climate change. Most of the predicted outcomes on tropical peatland utilization for oil palm cultivation have been derived based on the experience of peat usage in temperate regions. However, it is noted that the behaviour of peatland under tropical conditions is different from that under temperate conditions. This is the first book dedicated to tropical peat and its behaviour when cultivated with oil palm. The book gives insight of the characteristics of tropical lowland peat soils and shows how they can be mapped, identified and classified. The agronomic utility of such a soil classification system which can explain the variation of oil palm performance and yield is shown. Attention is drawn to the fact that some peat soils can be developed and planted with oil palm to provide economic returns but there are some peat soils which cannot be farmed economically and must be conserved. One chapter of the book provides the good agricultural practices that must be followed to make oil palm cultivation sustainable. This is a good book for enthusiasts who want to know more about tropical peat soils and how oil palm can be cultivated sustainably on these soils. Lee, C. T.

Reference ID: 22352 Notes: #22352e MOSTA Best Practice Workshop, Miri 17-19 August 2015 Abstract: Understanding the composition and distribution of rodent pest in the oil palm areas will contribute to the development of the basic knowledge of IPM and better insight of invasion capabilities of in oil palm damaged areas. The present study was carried out to identify the dominant species of rodents which have caused major damage and casualty in two phases of oil palm estates. In this study, a total of 100 traps were set up for three consecutive nights in three provinces of oil palm plantations in Borneo Malaysia. There were seven species of oil palm small pest mammals identified. From those seven identified the Sundamys muelleri and Calloscirus notatus were found to be predominant in Sampadi region while Rattus rattus diardii in Tawau and Sahabat regions, respectively. R. r. diardii was found to be the most dominant (69%) rat species identified from 16 occasions in the respective regions. While the smaller species, Maxomys whiteheadi and R. exulans were dominantly found in the plots of young palm areas (31%). On the other hand, R. r. diardii was predominantly found in both oil palm stages. S. mulleri was recorded in Sampadi and one plot in Sahabat region which was adjacent to the forest reserve. Several approaches have been introduced as an IPM package of these rodent pest and some of these control technique are highlighted and discussed in this paper. Kon, T. W.

High infestation was reported in Miri, Mukah and Sibu. Censuses on the infestation of T. rufivena were conducted at three different locations, i.e. in Miri (young palm), Mukah (mature palm) and Sibu (ablation samples). Samples for census were taken from infested bunches, female and male inflorescences. The census was done by chopping the bunches and the female inflorescences while for the male inflorescences, the bottom of spikelets were cut to determine the number of live larvae and pupae. The census 44 Serangga reveiled that in Sibu, a high infestation of T. rufivena was found on male inflorescences compared to bunches of female inflorescences. The mean number of live larvae found in male inflorescences for the first and second day of census recorded 35.3 ± 15.7 and 14.0 ± 7.3, respectively. The highest number of live larvae recorded from male inflorescences was 207 and 65, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean number of live larvae from infested bunches and female inflorescences on the first day were 9.9 ± 3.5 and 19.4 ± 4.4, respectively.

  • Emerging and Re-Emerging Biotic Stresses of Agricultural Crops in India and Novel Tools for Their Better Management
    GENERAL ARTICLES Emerging and re-emerging biotic stresses of agricultural crops in India and novel tools for their better management J. Kumar*, R. K. Murali-Baskaran, S. K. Jain, P. N. Sivalingam, J. Mallikarjuna, Vinay Kumar, K. C. Sharma, J. Sridhar, P. Mooventhan, A. Dixit and P. K. Ghosh Food security of our country is at risk due to heavy yield losses of agricultural crops caused by pests and diseases known together as biotic stresses. Conventional management practices in vogue are not competent under the current situations obscured by the incitants of biotic stresses which have either enhanced their offensive capabilities due to adaptive mutations or regained their patho- genic/herbivory potential owing to climate change. Numerous causal agents of biotic stresses are also introduced in the country or new regions of the country either through natural dispersal as invasive species, or on account of quarantine irregularities at national or international levels. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to appraise the impact of these new biotic stresses burgeoned in the recent past and to develop novel technologies for their management. To devise an effective preventive and eradicative strategy for containing these biotic stresses, new research innovations need to be practiced such as deciphering basic/molecular mechanism of host-pathogen/insect inte- ractions; endophytic mechanisms of plant protection; nanotechnology in pest management; host resistance strengthening by gene cloning, recombinant DNA technologies, RNA biology, utilizing gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9, etc. This article presents a comprehensive account of new biotic stresses of agricultural crops built up in the country and also reviews the novel scien- tific inventions made worldwide which can be further employed to devise more efficient methods for alleviating impact of these biotic stresses of food crops in the country.

Insecticides application is inevitable to prevent economic loss. However, to protect insect pollinators which co- habitat with the pest and reduce the risk of resistance development among the pest to insecticides, rotation treatments with more than one pollinator-friendly insecticides is recommended. This paper examines the effectiveness of rotating several pollinator-friendly insecticides in controlling the pest. To assess the effectiveness of different rotation combination, a field study on a seven-year-old peat estate was carried out using several insecticides combinations and application intervals, then the level of infestation post-treatment was assessed. Significantly, the results showed that only four single rounds of insecticides application in a year would yield relatively better control than nine rounds of Bacillus thuringiensis applications. Overall, there was no significant difference in clean bunches percentages obtained between five rounds of treatment compared to only four rounds per year. The result strengthens our confidence that the optimum and most cost-effective approach for one-year protection against T.
