The Asian weaver ant (Oecophylla smaragdina) is a natural enemy, generalist predator of diverse major pest species (i.e. the highly destructive oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis) in economically strategic agricultural landscapes in Australia and Southeast Asia countries. For effective implementation of the weaver ant for biological control of the invasive bagworms Metisa plana, the dominant pest in the oil palm plantation, its distribution was investigated in Malaysia. From 2018-2022, censuses were first carried out to record Oecophylla colonies presence. Oecophylla colonies’ occupation patterns were monitored on 8 selected plantations. To distinguish between brood and barracks nests, 26 captured nests were evaluated to define the main predictor variable for its practical visual identification. More than 11000 palms with 10821 nests for over 500 colonies were sampled in this study. Results showed that O. smaragdina colonies distribution pattern exhibited three-dimensional ubiquitous occupation dominance. We also found that by observing the colony’s dense population spatial arrangements, it demonstrates them as spreading by waves featuring interconnected irregular geometrical patches shaped for each colony. The height to the ground nest location in palm canopies was the significant visual discriminant factor between Brood and barrack nests. Moreover, polydomous arboreal nesting behavior occupation occurred irrespective of palms or associated host plants sizes (≥ 3 m), throughout the year. However, colony nesting behaviors were polydomous and monodomous on shorter plants (≥ 2 m), while being strictly monodomous on small plants (≤ 1.5 m). Colonies occupied an average 3 to 4 palms yearly beginning from the newly founding phase up to the stable mature phase (3 to 4 years). Furthermore, we found that matured stable colonies (3 ≥ age ≥13) occupied 10-12 palms on average, on 800 m2 to 2500 m2 area delimited by a minimum average 20 m2 of “no ants land” zone between each colony. Our results suggest that a sustained agriculture system in this area would be possible with the presence of matured colonies nests exploitation which could provide an efficient biological control ecosystem service.

“…It is reported that OPF juice meets all the conditions for a useful fermentation substrate due to its renewability, accessibility, and constant availability (Rafieisakhaei and Barazandeh, 2017). According to a report by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), approximately 51.80 million tonnes of biomass are generated annually from oil palm industries, with OPF biomass accounting for the majority; only a small portion of this is used as animal feed, with the remainder simply left in the plantation sites (Abubakar et al, 2022). Moreover, juice extracted from OPF is less toxic to microbial growth and product formation since it contains low impurities.…”

Ideal substrates and biobutanol producers are the key and most important ingredients for efficient biobutanol production. In this research, we evaluated the composition of oil palm fronds based on the different ages of the plant. Fresh oil palm frond (OPF) juice was found to be the most potent OPF component for biobutanol production and was pressed from 5, 10, 15 and 20 yr old trees using a sugarcane pressing machine. The total sugar concentrations were estimated by the use of a DNS and spectrophotometer and were found to be decreasing with the increasing age of the palm oil tree, with the highest sugar obtained at OPF ages 5 and 10. HPLC analysis revealed that glucose was the highest fraction in the juice, accounting for 57% to 66%, while fructose (12%-17%) and sucrose (19%-25%) made up the remaining percentage. Fermentation inhibitors like gallic and ferulic acids were also detected in the juice using the HPLC technique, and their concentrations also increased with age. Therefore, the research screened for a robust bacterial strain that can tolerate these phenolics in the hydrolysate for biobutanol production. Out of the 11 strains of Clostridium screened, strain A1 was found to successfully utilise the hydrolysate and yield the highest concentration of biobutanol at 2.32 g/L with productivity of 0.064 g/L/hr. The strain was identified as Clostridium strain A1 based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing techniques.

“…La opinión de investigadores es coherente y toman en cuenta los cambios del clima para la producción de la fruta de la palma. Argumentan que en países de América Latina y Malasia cuentan con condiciones ideales para el crecimiento y desarrollo de la palma, incluso duplicar las cosechas en las próximas décadas, aunque las estimaciones de producción pueden alterarse por el cambio climático (Abubakar et al, 2022;. La variabilidad en la intensidad y duración de las lluvias, afecta la producción de fruta y calidad del aceite (Abubakar et al, 2022).…”

Introducción. La palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis) es uno de los monocultivos perennes que se ha extendido a casi un poco más de diecinueve millones de hectáreas en el mundo, su expansión ha generado debate social, económico y político en diversos países tropicales. Una de las problemáticas que se ha discutido, es el impacto sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas, biológicas y ecológicas del suelo. Objetivo. (i) Ofrecer un panorama actual de la expansión del cultivo de palma de aceite para una zona de la región Soconusco, Chiapas, México, (ii) documentar los efectos que provoca la palma de aceite sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas y biológicas del suelo y (iii) presentar algunas propuestas de prácticas de manejo para incrementar la fertilidad y la abundancia de macroinvertebrados del suelo. Desarrollo. Se realizó la búsqueda de palabras clave en el apartado de “tópicos” dentro de la base de datos “Web of Science” del año 2009 hasta marzo del 2018. Se consultaron investigaciones que relacionan el cultivo de la palma de aceite con los parámetros físicos, químicos y biológicos del suelo. La literatura demuestra los efectos negativos que genera el monocultivo de palma de aceite sobre algunas propiedades fisicoquímicas del suelo y sobre la ecología y biología de la macrofauna edáfica. Conclusión. Se muestra evidencia de que el mal manejo del monocultivo de la palma de aceite tiene implicaciones ambientales. La integración de buenas prácticas de manejo sostenibles, podrían mitigar los daños al suelo.
