EFFECT OF LIQUID FORMULATION OF Metarhizium anisopliae (COMPOST, METANKOS) ON MORTALITY OF Oryctes rhinoceros L. LARVAE ON OIL PALM
Abstract
Palm oil trees are widely cultivated in Riau Province producting large quantities of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) that can be composted and enriched with the biological control agent Metarhizium anisopliae Metsch. to manage the pest Oryctes rhinoceros L. This study aims to obtain the best dosage of the liquid formulation of M. anisopliae in Metankos on the mortality of O. rhinoceros larvae in oil palm plants. This research was conducted experimentally using a complete randomized design (CRD). The data obtained were analyzed statistically using the SAS software, followed by DNMRT test at 5% significance level. The results showed that the best dose of M. anisopliae liquid formulation on compost media was 210 g/l per bucket with a total mortality of 90%. A dose of 120 g/L per the bucket also produced significant mortality (72.5%), meeting the criteria of a bioinsecticide for controlling O. rhinoceros larvae. These findings indicate that the Metankos liquid formulation has strong potential as an effective biological control agent in oil palm pest management.
