Attractiveness preferences of Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust. to different composition volatile organic compounds of female inflorescence on clay, sandy, and peat soil type
Abstract:Preference of pollination insect Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust. to the female inflorescence of oil palms influenced by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from the receptive flowers. VOCs, one factor of the pollination process, need more intensive research to escalate the production value of oil palm, such as fruit set. However, some cases occur in the suboptimal area where pollination is un-optimal. This research aims to study the E. kamerunicus preferences for different VOCs composition from female inf… Show more
