  • Are insect pests a bottleneck to oil palm productivity?
  • In this review, different control methods against key oil palm pests have been highlighted and advances in research on their management analyzed. We conclude that a large diversity of insect pests are serious bottlenecks to optimal productivity of oil palm globally and few have been well managed and studied.
  • Can oil palm borers kill a tree?
  • Oil Palm borers, especially larvae of Rhynchophorus spp. develop within the tree stem, damaging the vascular system and leading to the death of the infested tree. Early detection is normally a challenge as the infestation is concealed until the tree is severely damaged.
  • How to control oil palm pests?
  • The use of quarantine regulations to prevent the spread of invasive pests has also been applied with remarkable results. There are notable research advances in semiochemicals, bioacoustic detectors, nanotechnology, insect growth regulators, and entomophagy for better management of oil palm pests.
  • What is a borer of oil palms?
  • (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a borer of oil palms in nurseries and young plantations in Ghana [ 89 ]. Inflorescences of older palms can be severely damaged, leading to significant tunneling through both dead and living tissue near the point of entry. Damage includes premature withering of fronds and necrosis of the terminal shoot.
