The use of pesticides in agriculture has resulted resulted in the growing concern on the presence and danger of residues in the environment. One of these is fungicide benomyl. Benomyl is an accepted common name for methl N-(1-butylcarbamoyl) henzimidazol-2-yl carbamate, a systematic fungicide used to control a wide range of fungal diseases of fruits, nuts, … Read more

Insecticides are used in the oil palm plantation to control insect pests. Insecticides such as cypermethrin are commonly used to treat bagworms, nettle caterpillars and rhinoceros beetles. The used of pesticides in oil palm plantations has resulted in the growing concern of the presence and danger of the residues in the environment. A method has … Read more

The discovery of patterns and specific volatile organic compounds (VOC) associated with Ganoderma infection could be the key for early detection of this disease. This could facilitate the detection of Ganoderma in the plantation environment or host. Three VOC produced by pathogenic Ganoderma were identified, [2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, Thiophene, 2-popyl- and 4H-Pyran-4-one] and selected as potential biomakers.

To facilitate research activities among the research activities among the research communities and industry pertaining to literature … Read more

Herbicides such as diuron are often used to control broad-leaf weeds. However, wide spread use of diuron in oil palm plantations has led to concern on its impact on the environment. Diuron is easily taken up from soil solution by the root system and translocated to the stem and leaf. Therefore, it is necessary to … Read more

Herbicides such as diuron are often used to control broad-leaf weeds. However, wide spread use of diuron in oil palm plantations has lead to concerns on its impact on the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an analytic method to detect and quantify diuron residue in soil. Diuron is the common name for 3-(3,4-dichlophenyl)-1,1- … Read more
