SURVIVAL RATE AND DEVELOPMENT OF LARVAE Elaeidobius kamerunicus (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) ON ARTIFICIAL DIETS
Abstract
Kumbang Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) telah diperkenalkan dalam industri kelapa sawit di Malaysia untuk meningkatkan hasil pokok kelapa sawit. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat pengurangan pendebungaan terhadap kelapa sawit oleh E. kamerunicus. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan diet alternatif untuk E. kamerunicus bagi mengekalkan larva E. kamerunicus di bawah keadaan makmal dan membandingkan perkembangan larva E. kamerunicus dalam diet alternatif yang berlainan. Empat jenis diet telah disediakan di mana diet a dan diet b menggunakan bahan seperti ragi, gandum, tepung jagung, asid askorbik, asid benzoik, agar bakteriologi, air suling, metil-4-hidroksibenzoat dan kloramfenikol. Diet c dan d diformulasi dengan ragi, tepung gandum, tepung jagung, madu, serbuk susu dan gliserol. Diet tambahan menggunakan serbuk bunga jantan sawit digunakan untuk diet b dan d. Kadar pupasi dan kemandirian E. kamerunicus antara empat diet di bawah keadaan makmal telah direkodkan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahawa diet d menghasilkan kadar pupasi dan kemandirian tertinggi berbanding dengan diet lain dengan 56% daripada kedua-dua pupasi dan serangga dewasa terhasil daripada 25 larva. Kadar lengkungan kemandirian (y=mx+c) larva E. kamerunicus menunjukkan cerun paling rendah dengan nilai m bersamaan dengan -1.2242 yang menunjukkan kadar kemandirian larva tertinggi.
