Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Oil palm (Elaeis guinensis) plantation is one of the economic pillars of countries rich in biodiversity in tropical regions. In oil palm plantation, pests and diseases are the major problems  that cause low production in oil palm. Bagworm, Metisa plana (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) are the most  destructive pest in oil palm plantations in Malaysia, resulting in high yield losses of up to 43%  over two years after infestation. Therefore, this study was  aimed  to  examine  bagworm   infestations,  their  damaging  impacts  based  on bagworm stages, and the damages occurred in the  oil palm plantations in Felda Gunung Besout  2.  A  total  of  57  palm  trees  were   systematically  selected,  and  bagworm  and parasitoid  samples  were  collected  from  several   selected  areas  in  two  stages.  At  first stage, nine (9) fronds were randomly picked from each  tree. The severity of bagworm infestations was measured based on the severity scale of damage  symptoms caused by bagworms. At second stage, parasitoids were collected from the same oil palm  trees by hand and with yellow sticker traps before being identified in the laboratory. The results  showed that infestation rates in the selected oil palm plantations were 50.9%, 31.6%, 4% and 3.5%,  which were rated as high, moderate, low, and very low, respectively. The results also showed  stage-seven bagworms were the most destructive pest, followed by stage-one,  six,  and  five.   According  to  the  result,  several  potential  parasitoids  were identified   with   the    highest   Eulophidae:   Tetrastichus   sp.,   which   belong   to   the Hymenoptera  order.  These   findings  will  provide  great  information  for  planters  and researchers  about  the  bagworm   stages  and  their  impacts  on  the  infection  rates  in  oil palm  plantations.  Thus,  enabling   a  more  effective  biological  control  to  reduce  or eliminate bagworms from oil palm plantations in total.
